Formatting posts can be troublesome sometimes. You should probably just put each item on a separate line.

Overall, you seem pretty good. Your academics are similar to mine, and I was accepted to Cornell RD. Your EC’s are huge, almost overwhelming, but with some in your prospective field, which is good. Your #1 priority now should be planning your application: crafting essays, formatting EC’s, gathering recommendations, etc. Honestly, you look pretty good so far.

Additional information would be helpful: hooks, course rigor, AP/IB?, etc.

I was able to separate the information and unfortunately I have no hooks.

However, I have taken 13 AP classes and the most rigorous courseload possible

And I actually thought my extracurriculars were on the weak side.
