What are my chances?

Hi, I’m currently a junior in high school and I was wondering what you thought my chances were of getting into Georgetown.
I’m taking 3 AP’s, I was going to take 4 but I dropped AP Music Theory because the teacher was really hard to follow. I’m taking AP US History, AP English (Lang&Comp), and AP Calc AB.
I’m planning on taking 4 or 5 next year, depending on how my schedule works. I will be taking AP US Gopo, AP Stats, AP Spanish, and AP Lit. I will probably be taking AP Environment too, but I might not be able to because its a double lab period and I don’t have enough room in my schedule. So I might take Advanced Topics in Mathematics, which is a course for all of the kids in my school who, a bit ahead of the curve, have taken calc in 11th grade and don’t have any math classes to take in 12th.
I took the SATs for the first time in December with no prep and got a 1980 - 640 in CR, 670 in Math and 670 in Writing. I got a 208 on my PSATs so I’m planning on getting my SAT scores at least up to that level.
I fence, and have been a varsity fencer (first string) for the past three years and will be a captain and leading member next year. I also play the violin. I’ve been in the Honors chamber orchestra for the past 3 years and I am currently the concertmistress (and will be next year). I also participate in 2 youth orchestras outside of school, one of which I will be the concertmistress of next year. I’m also in region orchestra and play in the school’s orchestra pit.
I don’t really do any clubs because unfortunately I don’t have the time between violin and fencing (I also club fence in the off-season). However this summer I am planning on spending a month in China for volunteering/immersion because my dream is to major/work in Chinese and International business or economics. My sister is from China, which is what sparked my interest in China and influenced me to do so.

What are my chances? Sorry this is so long, Thanks!
