As a sophomore, I believe you are on the right track.

The EC’s look good (perhaps create a club/work experience)

I am worried about the standarized tests.

The 700 Bio will certainly not cut it. The kind of schools you want to go to will most likely want 3 SAT II’s. I would try to get at least 750’s in 3 different subjects.

The PSAT looks good and is merit scholar worthy. The SAT should be in the 2300’s and I think you are definitely capable.

You have a 70-85% chance if you improve your SAT/ACT (try it) and SAT II’s.

I also would take a much more vigorous course load. I am taking 7 AP’s this year and I have my doubts about the University of Virginia.

Asian might hurt you. I am asian too and I think we just overpopulate all the good universities so that my be a disadvantage. JK Good Luck!
