App time is coming up & I have no idea as to where I’d like to go. My preferences are very general. I’d like to stay in the northeast (I’m from PA), and will probably end up in a science related major (although, I’d like room to change without having to transfer). The only university I’ve really got in mind is Carnegie Mellon. Could I even get in there? I’d obviously like to go to the best school I can get into. So where do I stand now?

stats/

GPA: unknown, but grade avg. is about 93% maybe?
Rank: top 10% out of ~450
SAT: 730 CR, 740 M, 760 W
SAT Subject: 790 M II, 640 Bio E (that one is terrible, but the last time I had bio was 3 years ago. retake?)
AP: 5 Calc AB, 5 English Lit, 5 Studio Art, 4 USH
(will be taking calc bc, ap gov, ap bio, ap lang & ap studio art again this year.)

do have volunteer hours, no idea how many (but a decent amount. 50-70?)

EC/
worked as a ski instructor for 1 winter (thus, big on skiing)
casual horsebackriding for 3 years (don’t compete)
student congress
national art honor society (will most likely be pres. this year)
I do art commissions when I can (does that count? :/)
Lots of travel, which explains my lack of summer activities.

thoughts? suggestions?
