I’m from NJ, had the same SAT score, similar APs and was in band and was waitlisted (which means if your essay is stronger than mine you have a good chance at getting accepted). I ended up transferring to W&M but there is a big emphasis on showing your personality and most importantly WHY W&M. If you really sell the fact you want to be at W&M, how you will make the community more diverse with your life experiences (for example, I have a disability but I didn’t write about it in my first essay and in my second attempt, I said that I have a different outlook that can contribute to the W&M community), and what W&M can do for you that other schools can’t. A good essay with the things you listed should get you in.
