I do agree with GammaG, but I would have to say take advantage of your school. You are very fortunate, and I would try to do research and enter Siemens/Intel as early as possible. Also keep working at doing USAMO. The fact of the matter is all EC’s are not created equal. If you advance in those competitions, your schedule/rank wont matter as much.

As far as the problem about common app spaces, I would advise just attaching a resume to give the colleges a better perspective of you.

Alas, as a fellow asian, I understand your pain/insomnia/depression. But use those ECs/sports that you really love doing as a coping mechanism(for me it was cross country and tennis). Good luck with everything and stay strong
