I would agree that focusing on your SAT score would be beneficial to improve your admission chances. GPAs without clarification of weighting is a bit difficult to interpret. With a D as a sophomore in engineering, and having spent a fair bit of time researching, I’m skeptical that 75% of the class had a 3.94+ unweighted GPA. If “a 4.0 GPA”" truly means a 4.0 unweighted GPA - all A’s in every class since Freshman year, you’re in a very good position there

The coursework looks relatively solid, but, to be honest, being a “member” of a bunch of clubs doesn’t really do much. Try to get a meaningful leadership role in at least one of them. Focus and leadership is better than breadth and membership.

As is, I’d say you’d have a fair chance - not bad, not outstanding. SAT to at least 1350 and president of a meaningful club would put you in a much better position.
