SAT: 1500; Evidence Based Reading and Writing: 720, Math: 780
Including this year took a total of : 8 APs (including senior year), 19/27 classes are either Honors or AP over course of 4 years (gym not included)

I’d say you are a competitive applicant. The C in AP physics and geometry can be overlooked considering you plan to major in psychology. Your course schedule was quite rigorous but in your application I would advise against putting in the volunteer work that was only 2-3 months. Unless you intend to write an essay about it, it looks like you are fluffing the application in comparison the the activities you have done for years. How are your essays? Those will probably be the things that set you apart during decisions.

I am in the process of trying to finish them up, but I am unsure if they are good enough
