My advice - try to do something new this summer, either find an internship type job related to your chosen field of study or a different volunteer position that isn’t something you’ve done before. If you can back up the volunteer stuff with some sort of fundraising that would help. Does your Chemistry Club compete in any kind of Science Bowl type competitions? If not, try to get that started at your high school. Starting something new shows initiative and colleges are looking for that kind of kid. Duke is also big on finding kids with community service on their resume.

That said, you look like a strong candidate to me.
