Senior Home Alarm

I am a senior currently applying for college. I plan to major in fine arts/studio arts and do premed at the same time. So I’m specifically looking for a liberal arts college where their art program as well as premed program is excellent. So this is a list of schools I’m applying to and I’m putting them from highest probability to lowest probability of getting into:
CUNY Hunter and City College; SUNY Binghamton; American University; NYU (Steinhardt); U Chicago; Columbia and Cornell; Yale; and two art schools on the side: School of Visual Arts in NYC and Cooper Union; I’m know I’m applying to a good number of reaches but I would regret never trying.
Male, Asian (Filipino), First-Generation American
Ranked 17/277 (top 6%) GPA: 3.7 (weighted); I don’t know what it is unweighted. I tried calculating it and I think it may be 3.2 or 3.3, but don’t hold me to that.
Jr. High: Spanish, Biology, Math A (these count as high school credits)
Freshman: Math A/Math B H, English H, Earth Science H, Global History H, Spanish, Studio Art, Personal Keyboarding, Concert Band
Sophomore: Math B H, English H, AP Biology, AP World History, Spanish H, JROTC
Junior: Precalculus H, AP Statistics, AP English Language, AP Chemistry, AP US History, Psychology, Health, Concert Band
Senior: AP Calculus B/C, AP English Literature, Speech, AP Physics, Economics, Participation in Government, Studio Art
Mostly A’s and B’s…and one dreadful C, but considering the weight from all the honor and AP classes I could have more B’s.
My school doesn’t give out very impressive honors, titles, or awards. They also don’t hold competitions e.g. science fairs or writing competitions. Not until by the END of senior year do they give out the special awards. So I can’t say what I put down on commonapp is impressive either. The most legitimate ones besides Honor Roll/Pricipal’s list is AP Scholar, Highest Score on the American Mathematics Competition in the school, and Reflections-Visual Arts Winner.
My highest AP scores were a 5 for Biology, 4 for World History, and 4 for US History.
My SAT scores are sadly unimpressive. Maybe because I didn’t prepare enough.
SAT I’s: 1900 (composite score) 620 CR, 640 M, 640 W SAT II’s: Biology: 750, World History: 630
I’m going to take the ACT and hopefully I’ll get an excellent score.

As for my recs I got my AP Biology teach I developed the longest relationship with. And my favorite AP English Language teacher, he’s quirky and unusual but an enlightening and funny dude and I know his rec is going to stand out.
As for my essay I’m putting all my heart and creativity to write up an interesting one. I’m actually writing two. One about my strange habit or fetish of always wearing socks nearly 24/7; how socks shaped my life, The other one is about how I incorporate my artistic vision and signature in the things I do and how it’s shaped my choices and life. This could probably be a good highlight of my application.
Portfolio: (its not actually my full portfolio, but I think it displays my skills well enough)http://coo-coo-kachu.deviantart.com/gallery/#Portolfio Considering that I’ve self taught myself to draw and even devote time to strengthen my technique with all the stuff I do in school and after, I think I’ve made an amazing amount of progress.
Also, if you have any suggestion of schools that would seem li
