How strong are my EC?

I have spent 3-4 hours on programming each weekday and 4-5 hours on the weekend for 3 years. I plan to major in computer engineering.

Extracurricular activities:

1. Programmed Applications: featured in Playstore a few times

2. Small Company/non-profit for my apps/programming

3. USACO/Competitive programming - finalist for USACO didn't make the team. I've done okay on competitive programming contests for college students, I've done pretty good on ones designed for high school

4. Blog about programming/computer science/computer engineering - gets 500 views per year

5. I also tutor my siblings on the weekend
