Will join Model Congress, and Science Olympiad for junior and senior year.



This makes it sound like you’re only doing it to get into college, just FYI. Only participate in activities you really love, and which you can express love for in essays. Otherwise it just looks like filler, and the adcoms know.

Your SAT is good but not great. I’ve seen worse here though. Try to even out your scores a bit (get the R/W subscores above 700, ideally). Write good essays and get good recs, and you should have a decent shot.
