<p>Raise your SAT score to at least 2250. A 2200-2290 is a good score, but it won’t catch the eyes of the admission officers from the top private school (i.e., Ivy League schools, Duke, etc.), so if you could get a 2300+, that would be phenomenal. You should try to raise your TOEFL score to 112+.
About your ECs: I don’t know which ones you should eliminate, you know best. You know better which activities you devoted much time to and to which you didn’t.</p>
