Your stats are great! Nothing is missing. No need to retake anything. You have to make sure to write excellent essays. Try to plan a summer internship related to your major. Make sure to secure reccomendation letters from teachers now ( I would ask Chem or Bio teacher). When choosing a teacher, keep in mind his/her ability to write well (clarity)
Good luck!

WHat types of activited do you have in your Biology club? And was it hard to get people to join?

I wanted to base it off of the Chem Club at my school. We’re doing a different topic related to bio every year. The first year was Marin Bio. This year its Environmental Science/Global Warming.
