You are a solid student, but you can do more to make yourself stand out, because while you are a good applicant, nothing is exceptional about you. SAT scores are good, but could be higher. Try to retake the ACT or SAT–the higher the better. But if you don’t want to, you’re fine with that ACT score.
Grades are decent, although you should try your best to avoid Bs this year. Are you taking the hardest courseload at your school? How is your rank?
Extracurriculars are decent. Try to do something special as leader of those clubs…a VP position is good but colleges want to see that you actually did something. Other than that, great job.
If you get recruited for XC, you should be easily admitted considering the rest of your app is fine. Good luck!!!
