Your academics are great, your EC’s are good, but a little self-involved and not necessarily leadership per se overall. Being African American will help you. I think a lot of people your age are interested in film right now, so that may be competitive, and I am not sure SMU (where my son is admitted) focuses on that (maybe it does!!). Your entrepreneurship skills will be attractive. You need at least some volunteer work. I don’t know how to blend your interests with volunteering, other than some non-profit organizations which may need free filing/writing done for grants, brochures, promotion.
