ok couple of things: firstly replace the mandarin sat II with another SATII (french/phy/bio/lit?), an 800 is great but the worldwide average score is 760, so an 800 is close to meaningless. also a higher chem score won’t hurt, people don’t realize that average scores for SAT2s are much higher than for the SAT 1. your sat 1 is fine. your ECs are nothing great, 200 hours for your main activity ends up being less than two hours every school week over four years. That’s is not a very serious commitment, focus on what you did rather than the time spent. I think seas for you is not impossible ED, but it’s a reach, because your academics aren’t spectacular and your ECs are mediocre.

Also people will probably think that your job at deloitte wasn’t something you earned or learnt a great deal from, there are a lot of HS kids, who’s parents get them summer jobs at financial firms, and they don’t do s**t, heck it’s like that for some underclassmen in college.

pick 3 majors that you are most interested in and more importantly fit closest with your strengths and demonstrated abilities in the app, good luck.
