Current chances and how to improve them.

Seems pretty solid to me, although I would probably try to shoot for a higher Math/Writing score on your SAT (if you think you can improve them), or go for the higher ACT like you mentioned. I would imagine that being a recruited athlete would help you a great deal, but if you don’t want to play in college I certainly wouldn’t recommend forcing yourself to do so just to enhance your chances.
I also don’t really get your hook. Is that what you are going to write about for your essay? If it is, I would try hard to make it unique and somewhat modest (it come off as being pompous or something if you aren’t careful), because I think it is probably a common topic to write about (but if you make it your own and write a great essay any topic can stand out in the crowd).

Also…how did you get your AP scores so early? I thought they came out in the 3rd week of July or sometime around there (I know you can get your scores by phone for a fee starting tomorrow as well). I probably should get mine early so that I can have them for my Arts and Sciences Summer Weekend, as my course placement depends on those scores from what I understand.
