First the bad news: The thing that could keep you out is your GPA. The typical student at Chicago will have a much higher GPS/
Now the good news: Everything else is stellar. If you do well in your AP classes, they can really bring up your GPA -- and that will no longer be an issue. If you have much higher grades after your Freshman year, then you should address that in your essay.
I had a bad freshman year in college, but did very well after that. I was able to get accepted at several top graduate programs despite that performance because I explained the reasons and proved that I could overcome the one bad year. I suspect that most colleges will discount that one bad year. Even if you don't get into Chicago, you will be able to get into some very good universities.
