You have strong standardized test scores and GPAs, but based on your activities and AP scores, I don’t see a specific subject of interest i.e medicine, STEM, music… I would say narrow down the extracurriculars you report to be focused on a particular interest that you would like to pursue in college.

Based on your financial situation and immigration status, you may qualify for aid, however if you are looking at the top schools in the country (UC schools, Ivies, and other prestigious universities) these schools give very little, if any, financial aid. In addition, you will really need to stand out in your essays since, based on your stats and extracurriculars, you seem like any other typical applicant. There are many state schools that are just as good as these “ivies” and “UCs” that provide much more aid.
