What are my chances?

A 3.5 GPA would be underwhelming at NU, Ivies, or similarly competitive schools.
Saying that you hope that SATs will be high isn’t meaningful. Let’s assess that after you have scores.
Your ECs and URM status are the big selling points for you.
Does your school give class ranking, or even decile ranking?
But honestly, it’s rather premature to be assessing “chances,” which can be done much more meaningfully next spring, when you’ve got some scores back and see how your junior year grades are actually shaping up.
Good luck!
