Hello there! I’m currently about to end my junior year, and I’m very much planning on doing Early Action to here.

GPA: Weighted: 4.72 Unweighted: 3.92
Not exactly sure about exact rank, but I know I’m in the top 3% out of 419.

SAT: 2230
ACT: 34
PSAT: 208, so commended most probably

Classes:
Freshman:
Honors CA I
Honors Bio
Honors Geometry
Concert Choir (the only choir available to freshman)
Spanish 2.5
Gifted Education/Journalism
Soph:
Honors CA II
Chemistry
Honors Pre-Calc (took Algebra over the summer before high school)
AP Euro
AP Stats
Spanish 3.0
Chorale (audition choir)
Junior:
AP CA III
AP Chemistry
AP Calculus BC
AP US History
Honors Spanish 4
Chorale
Physics
Senior:
We The People (weighted government thing)
AP Biology
Honors Multi-Variable Calculus
AP Spanish 5
AP CA IV
Chorale
Gifted Education/Psychology

I feel like it might be worth noting that my school does not actually start offering AP classes until sophomore year, when even then AP Euro is the only one usually offered to students.

ECs:

Other random things (just so you get to know my personality a little better:
-Played soccer, volleyball, and did Tae Kwan Do (second degree black belt) until I tragically (lol) dislocated my knee during a sparring accident
-Indian, but born in the US; first female in my family to be choosing an education
-Very musically inclined; I play 12 instruments, and most of them for a long time (ie at least 5-6 years)
Volunteer work: Lots of hospital stuff (200+), volunteered at a hospital for two weeks overseas
Research: Got to work in a lab for two months over the summer junior year, and another lab this summer before senior year. Most probably will get my name in a neuroradiology publication

Sorry if this is a lot of extra and unimportant detail, but I don’t know, anything anyone can draw from anywhere would be helpful to me. Thank you so much. I’m really stressing about college a lot, and I just want advice on how to improve my chances more.
