I think you would have a better chance if you strengthened your extracurriculars. While you have a broad variety, it’s usually recommended to focus on one area or strength that you’re passionate about. Also, unless they were selective opportunities, I’d refrain from listing camps as extracurriculars. See if you can improve your math ACT subscore, as well. While a 33 is an excellent score, you could probably get it up. Good luck!
