I’m liking your SAT, W GPA, and Math II. Your ECs are also pretty good, though you don’t have any one thing that really stands out to me, and it reeks of stereotypical asian stuff. Your AP tests and physics subject test scores are decent but not great. I hope you manage to tell a convincing story with your essays and extracurriculars.
