<p>Nactor, I think your SAT scores, gpa, and future course schedules look great. It's good that you are involved in sports and student clubs, but no EC really jump out at me. However, I don't know anything about the Student Ambassador program you were in. I would recommend staying in the clubs at your school and trying to rise up in the ranks (to president, editor, etc). Do some community service and get involved outside your school too. Good luck!</p>
