<p>With a great essay, you’d be extremely competitive. The only thing that may hold you back would be your SAT score but only slightly. </p>

<p>With the number of applicants they received this year…
You’ll probably be waitlisted.
Nothing really stands out, I think. All pretty typical.</p>

<p>All you can do is try. Ivy League schools have a lot of competition. For example Stanford one of the top universities in the country only accepts 10% students that apply. Your accomplishment’s are impressive. Now just because you have done all that doesn’t mean you will get in. Their are many variables such as your essay, letters of recommendation, grades, ACT score and SAT score. Most colleges only accept about 10% student’s that apply. I’m no expert. One of the key things colleges look at is your application letter explaining your goals and who you are and what you want to be in life and prepare for the interview. All you can do is try and apply and good luck. </p>
