What are my chances of getting into UW-Madison?

I am a sopre. I get mostly A's. I am a white male, sadly. We had an average income for like a month in freshman year and most of my life before then but it's low now and probably will be for awhile. Last year I got a B in Algebra II Honors, bringing down my ulative unweighted GPA, but I'm two years ahead in math, and in honors, so should it really make that big a difference if I get Bs in math? It's looking like I'm going to get a B in trig/pre calc honors this year. I get A's in everything else but might get a B here or there. I rarely take study halls and frankly work my *** off and have not much social life because of it. I'm in too many activities, also, including the school play, FBLA, DECA, forensics (major time-taker; it's an ongoing public speaking competition and it fills the same amount of time as a sport), as well as volunteering at a food pantry every Wednesday since freshman year from 1.30 until 6.00. I live in Wisconsin. I don't like standardized tests so there's a chance that I could score below my intelligence level in SATs and ACTs and PSATs and whatnot. I am currently in 3 honors cles and one AP cl (the only one our school allows you to take as a sopre), and plan to take several more AP cles. I will have 4 years of German. I will also be a BSA Eagle Scout by graduation. I will graduate with an honors diploma (which basically means 4 years of all the required areas except one, I think it's English but I could be mistaken.) Madison is my dream school and I will not settle for anything less. What are my chances of getting in?
