Your engineering internship stands out to me.

You do have the stats to be competitive anywhere.

Be sure you dig deep into finding the right schools to apply to based on your strengths, and what you can bring to the school.

The reality is your transcript, scores and EC are fantastic but standing out has more to with who you are standing next to. The other reality is there will be many applicants standing next to you with similar stats in the top 25.
To stand out, move outside the top 25 in your search…

Your stats are strong enough for T25 schools, and you have some very nice ECs too. While you must also apply to a couple of likely schools and at least two match schools, you absolutely should apply to some T25s as well. Do your research, though, and have a really good answer to the “why us” question. Good luck to you!

Are you a high school junior?

yes

I don’t see enough leadership, but hey what do I know? You got everything else.

^Plenty of leadership here…

Varsity Tennis Captain, Math Team President & NHS Vice President (all officer positions)
Tennis Assistant Coach & Math Tutor (teaching younger kids is leadership)
Choreographer (if getting a troupe of dancers to perform perfectly in sync doesn’t require leadership, what does?)

You have a shot!

Lots of cool ECs and as @Groundwork2022 said, you have great leadership!

Very Very well rounded. The only thing is maybe trying to raise your SAT scores a bit?

Awesome stats. It all depends on how you portray yourself in your essays. You need to connect the activities you’re involved in to say more about yourself as a person, and what you plan to accomplish at the school in question. Also, you seem to be involved in a lot. From personal experience, I would say try to focus on one activity and try to make a real difference with it to make yourself stand out. At the end of the day, if you’re passionate about something, and that comes across in your app, colleges will notice. Good luck!

Is me being well rounded bad?

I want to portray 4 themes in my activities: Engineering, Tennis, My cultural involvement, and community service.

Are you a junior or senior?

Engineering Internship at Naval Base is rly cool
and also emphasize your involvement with your heritage
