(My last post was a joke)
(This is just my thoughts, because I am just a kid, and lack experience with admissions)
You have a good GPA, and it seems like you are taking the most challenging courses offered at you HS. Your chronic illness will be noted, and your willingness to stay in school will show perseverance. That is great that you are involved in your school, and your awards will show it. Personally, I think sports (JV Tennis in your case) is a nice touch. 500 volunteer hours show that you are active in your community, but do your best to do things that require brains, and not just your average Joe’s body. Also, being a nationally recognized harpist will bring something special to the university. Will you get it? As I am sure that you have heard, “Admissions to top colleges are a reach for everyone.”
Your SAT scores will also be an important factor. Just keep doing great, and it will pay off, even if you don’t get into HYP.
