All looks good with the exception of the SAT score. It is not bad but you should try boosting it the best you can the next time around. Extracurriculars, sports, etc. look fine. It was also wise of you to meet with the admissions head for international students early on. Every form of contact helps and you seem to realize this. I think a lot of Vision students forget to take advantage of their time on campus and meet their admissions reps. Good for you and good luck.

I honestly don't know. Keep in mind though that the overall strength and rigor of your past/present/future curriculum will be scrutinized as well as the strength of your school overall. In my opinion, these details are more important than a slight increase in GPA.
