Answer 1

I think you have a good chance. Your SAT score and GPA are pretty good, you have the grades, you have done sports, a good amount of volunteer work and colleges really like to see a great student that gives back to the community.

I also think you have a good chance at Boston University and Northeastern University too.

Answer 2

Your chances are excellent.

You can't do very much to change your chances at this point. Just keep doing what your doing, take the SAT again and try to get your scores up a little. Apply early, since you seem to want to go there more than anywhere else - sometimes this increases your chances a little, and if you get in, you'll be able to relax and enjoy your senior year.

And I hope this doesn't come across as mean, but posting your resume again and again and asking if you can get in won't help.

I would say that it is well within your reach.
