Hey guys applying ED to Penn, just wondering my chances.

SAT
1450 (760 M 690 V)

SAT II's
Math IIC 660
Physics 670
I'll be retaking IIC along with Writing and Spanish in October. I may also take the SAT again in November. It would be my second attempt.

GPA
94 (encompasses first 6 semesters of HS)
I go to a specialty magnet HS, no rank. Class of about 60 kids. Highest GPA is 98 and lowest is 85.

Course Load
School doesn't really offer APs. They state on the transcript that all courses are taught at honors level. What that means exactly, who knows?
My courses for senior year are as follows

English IV
Statistics
Chemistry II
Calculus
Java (taken at local community college)
Spanish Composition and Conversation (taken for college credit, equivalent of Spanish V)

EC's

Founder and President of Business Club
Work with children affected with autism and ADD every weekend. (wrote essay about experience)

Standard EC's
Model UN, Newspaper (photographer), Key Club, Chemistry League, and others

Should have good essays and recs.
Another question for a prospective economics major, what teacher's recs should I send? I have recs from Spanish teacher, Math and Stats teacher, and US History Teacher. All have taught me two years.

3 other seniors are also applying ED, will this affect my chances?

Thanks a lot guys.
