yeah you're gonna need a good engineering focused EC or a really good essay to set you apart from the other asian males.

you seem like a pretty strong math and science student as indicated by your ACT and AP grades. As a result, it seems kind of ironic that you wouldn't flock towards math and science clubs. If there are any in your school try to get in and gain office positions or if there aren't any, then make up one or two and make yourself president. Admis. committee may pick up on this but idk b/c sometimes I can be pretty critical of situations. I don't want you to get too overwhelmed with this suggestion, do what's best for you. I hope this helps.
