Your SAT score is fine. You’re more than qualified in terms of standardized tests. I wouldn’t bother retaking it.

I think the biggest problem, as was already stated, is that you don’t really have one or two ECs that you really excelled at through high school. You’ve done a lot, but it’s a little bit everywhere. They really want to see someone who has been very successful in something that they’re clearly passionate about. If you can, I would definitely paint a picture of quality over quantity when presenting yourself to them. A huge list of ECs is not going to look that impressive to them when compared to someone who only has a few very solid ECs. That being said, I still think you have a good shot. Good luck!
