I just spent the weekend in Madison and have decided that it is definitely where I want to be (even though the Badgers lost :()

What do you think my chances of getting in are:

GPA: 3.4 (Increasing trend, 2.5 Freshman year to 4.0 Junior year read my brief background)
ACT: 30
APUSH, AP Physics, AP Calc, AP Psych, AP Stats credit
Wisc resident

EC: Volunteer work in South Africa, Rugby for 2 years, 2 Executive positions held in small businesses, and more.

Top 25% in extremely competitive high school (Nationally ranked)

Brief Overview:
I moved to the US after being born and living in South Africa for 15 years. Due to the assimilation to the US school system my GPA improved from a 2.5 my freshman year to a 4.0 my junior year while still taking a rigorous schedule (5 AP’s).

I have seen the generic acceptance pdf and it chances me at 70% but would I have a greater chance due to my extenuating circumstances?
