SAT - Math:770, CR:560, W:570 (Hoping to raise it)

I do the IB program, and my subject choises are and my scores in it:

Math HL - 6 (A)
Chem HL - 7 (A+)
Physics HL - 6 (A)
Environmental Studies SL - 7 (A+)
English Lang and Lit SL - 5 (B)
German Ab initio SL - 5 (B+)

My counselor said the subject choice was very rigorous, and only 4-5% of the full IB diploma candidates have such rigorous subject choice.

The letter grade translations were done by myself, but IB is considered much more difficult than the American system.

These subject choices are the most rigorous in the IB diploma.

I had a research internship at my field of interest and the supervisor will be writing me a recommendation letter.

I am doing a research myself and I will be sending in the abstract with the application.

I think all my recommendations will be good if not great.
