Hello! This might be a little late, but anyway I’m a current TAMS senior and you look decent enough, but your grades are a little worrying. You need to pull them up in 10th grade. Getting a higher reading/writing score will help offset your english grades a little, but it may not be enough. In terms of extra curriculars, you’ll probably be okay but just keep in mind that the majority of people that get in will have much more than what you listed. The GitHub projects and whatnot are great, make sure they really show your passion for CS in your application. For you, writing a really good essay will be important, and if you get an interview, you’ll need to do well on that and the math diagnostics.
