thanks weasel and equilibrium. brought up good points

weasel, I would appreciate some more advice on how to highlight my unique accomplishments.

I also participated in a personality development program in India twice called “Seven Keys to Success”. Both times I got first place/outstanding participant. Is this worth mentioning?

About the internship and volunteering in India, would it be sufficient to list them in the summer activities section? In India I also worked with Rotary international and administered the polio vaccine to rural children as part of the Polio Pulse program.

The MIT application only allows you to list five activites/ ecs that you are involved in school and outside of school. Which five do you think I should put?
I was thinking GT Mentorship, Bollywood Bonanza club, Chess club because I founded it, orchestra because it is the activity to which I have been most dedicated for the longest time, and one more?

appreciate your advice :)
