AP Tests: Bio 4, Euro 5, Computer Science (A) 5, Environmental 4, still waiting on junior AP’s

EC’s:

-Interned at a local Mathnasium (math tutoring center) for 100+ hours starting spring of Sophomore year. My boss was so impressed by my professionalism/work that she hired me part time in the fall of my Junior year. I am still working there today. As you can probably tell by this job as well as my officer positions in Math Honor Society, I have a passion for mathematics, especially the teaching of it.
-Started Import/Export Business (Japanese figure/plush toys) in 2010, still going strong. Used Rosetta Stone to learn Japanese to reach out to suppliers for the business. Taxes paid (due to increased sales mandating paying taxes) starting in 2012, fully documented.
-Co-founded Acronautics, a company which launches weather balloon experiments, with the goal of captivating the masses with the magic of space. Note that the experiments used completely custom hardware/software, requiring extensive knowledge of computer programming in Objective-C (a language which I’ve studied since 2008 when the Apple developer craze began)

Recommendation Letters:

I intend to get my recommendation letters from my English Language teacher, the advisor of the Math Honor Society (I’ve known him three years), and my boss at the Mathnasium. And of course I’ll get the needed letter from my guidance counselor.

If anyone made it this far, how would you suggest that I document my business ventures for Harvard? Should I submit tax returns or what? Also, is there anything, anything at all, I can do in these last couple of months to bolster my application? I’ve tried hard throughout high school, and I’m confident I’ve done a great job, but I know how iffy the Ivy’s can be. I’m excited! Thanks for the input!
