What are my Chances?

I would appreciate it if anyone could give me insight on what my chances are for admission to Lehigh University.

I am a Korean male interested in majoring in finance or economics
SATs: 700 Math, 660 Crit Reading, 620 Writing
High School GPA around 3.4-3.6 (haven’t officially checked yet)
Top 15% of student body (1024 students)
All classes from 9th grade were honors level classes, with the exception of this year, for I am currently taking 4 AP courses (gov, stat, english, econ)
I have been a member of the Korean club for 3 years, and the Auto club for 1 year
I have volunteered at a nursing home for 70+ hours
I was a counselor in training at Donovan McNabb’s Diabetes Camp for Kids this past summer
I have worked in a jewelry store as seasonal and part-time salesman for about 3 years

I realize that my GPA and class rank are not the greatest, which is a result of me being a dumbass and getting C’s and B’s Junior year.

I am also applying for Early Decision, and plan to visit Lehigh for the first time on September 26th.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I thank you for your time and effort.
