I also think you have a good chance at Boston University and Northeastern University too.
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.
Here is what they require on their admissions site:

Give this a good read and look at all of their links regarding admissions and that should give you an idea of what tests you need to take and your chances of getting in.
