Write good essays and you’ll probably get into your top choices. For your DECA awards, I would only put 1st place at ICDC. If you got that far it’s pretty obvious you won state. I don’t know if 4th place or finalist is better for ISEF, but only put one of those also. Good Luck!

Hmmm, Unless you are taking a break after senior year, I’m calling B.S. You wouldn’t know if you were a National Merit Finalist yet, so unless you’re a senior who just hasn’t applied until now, its fake.

Quite single faceted EC’s but good stats for Ivies. I wouldnt judge essays yet especially if you havent started them yet, but recs could also easily make or break your application. I’m sure you have heard this one many times but make extremely sure that those writing your LoR know you well (even outside the classroom). Good luck!

your ECs and stats are really impressive, but some of the things you listed don’t really make sense, like RoadTriptoCollege said you wouldn’t know if you were National Merit Finalist yet if you were a junior this past school year… and there is no AP Organic Chemistry. Sorry if this comes off as rude, but I’m just a little confused.
