sorry to jump on the bandwagon, but anyone want to chance me?

soo i go to a private school in NC, and im pakistani (is that an over-represented minority?)
i got a 2290 on my sat, my math was kind of low (700)
we arent allowed to take aps until junior year at my school, and we dont rank, but im guessing im at least top 15 (out of 100 people--really small i know). we also go by trimesters and take the same classes all year long, so that was kind of limiting; i took one of the heaviest workloads though

in junior year i took
APUSH
APES
AP Spanish
AP English
Precalculus

i got 5s on APUSH and AP english and 4s on AP Spanish and APES

im now taking
AP Euro History
AP stats
AP Spanish Lit
AP Economics
AP literature
Physics

we dont do gpa at my school but i think im 3.75 ish, maybe better.

sat II's i got
700 in lit (second try)
720 in spanish (second try)
760 in us history

I'm a national merit commended student, an ap scholar with honor, part of National Honors society and Spanish honors society etc.

ECs--im a leader of an ESL tutoring program and a leader of Amnesty International, im in a lot of clubs, i volunteer at sunday school, work for school newspaper, do cool stuff over the summers, led a schoolwide drive etc..

for recs i think mine are pretty good, my teachers like me a lot and i think i stand out because i contribute weird ideas to the class.

my essay was pretty sturdy, kind of mental but good.

one thing: in freshman year i didnt do so swell, got like two b's but after that i MAJORLY improved, will that affect my grade much?
Also, i got one C (ahhhhhh i know) on this stupid two-week class for no apparent reason whatsoever..in the following years they made that class pass-fail...will that have a really big effect?
im applying ed if that makes a diff..
