What are my chances?

Hi,

I go to an elite school in Maryland, whose students generally go on to great schools. I was wondering if someone can give me some insight as to how realistic admission to NW is–in my particular case.

I’m a rising junior.

I had a cumulative 3.28 in 9th grade and a 3.52 in 10th grade–an upward trajectory.
I hope to have at least a 3.7-4.0 this upcoming year. This year I’ll be taking AP English, AP US History, and AP Music

I am African-American and own one of the most lucrative minor-owned business in the state. I am also on the board of Kids Helping Needy Kids, Inc., a charitable organization to which I give much of my time and energy. I am a 3-year U.S. Congressional intern. (I started summer before my freshman year–without any special connections)I am also actively involved in the SGA–I am VP of the student body.

So, with my extra curricular activites, estimated 3.5 cumulative, and a hopefully high SAT score, will I get in to an Ivy League school? Perhaps I’ll even to early decision!

Thanks so much!
