You look like a strong applicant.

As always, my advice is: get your test scores up, keep up the good grades (and challenging courses!), be involved in your extracurriculars (passion and accomplishments in one or two areas is worth a lot more than a little involvement in many), and make your essays shine.

Good luck!

When I was much younger, I was introduced to Zoroastrianism through a history class and an Iranian/Persian friend, and it sort of stuck with me since. The connection to Nietzsche is mostly coincidental, though I did later read bits of it.
