I’m a rising senior attending a highly competitive public school in Texas with around 1300 students in my grade.

I’m also ranked in the top 3% (top 30 students) of my school and on the November 2015 SAT, I received a score of 2390.
800 - Math
800 - Writing
790 - Reading

SAT Subject Tests:
I’ve taken three SAT IIs so far.

Also, some information about myself:

I’m a naturalized Indian American.
I have no legacy at any of the prestigious universities for which I hope to receive feedback.
I want to major in economics or business with the goal of becoming an investment banker and transitioning to Wall Street.
(It should be apparent that a plurality of my leadership positions and many of my extracurricular activities and awards skew toward finance/economics, which demonstrates a clear focus on a specific career path from an early age. Will college admissions officers notice this and if so, will they view it in a positive light as I don’t just have a laundry list of activities but rather, I have concentrated my achievements in a particular field of interest that I intend to pursue in college?)
