Listen kid none of us on this forum can tell you for sure where you can get admission cause remember that we are students just like you. Your list of extra curri. activities is impressive and so is your GPA so I guess they should make up for your SAT score. Don't worry about AP's, I guess they only come into play when you are looking to pick up credits in your freshman year. You can always take placement tests at the college once you are admitted.

Good Luck!
