Maryland Regular Decision concerns

I wasn't able to apply to Maryland early action, and am applying regular decision.

I have a 3.75w/4.75 uw. 1470 SAT, and 34 ACT. I've been reading that Maryland is way more selective regular decision. I realize that the RD acceptance rate is way lower, can I do anything to increase my chances?

I also played soccer on a nationally ranked team for all 4 years of highschool (Traveling almost every week) , am a We The People constitutional law competition State Champ, and nationals finalist (4th), and coached a little kids team for my senior year.
