<p>It's hard to say. Your SAT scores are great, but it would be helpful for you to actually take the SAT II tests and then see the steps you'd have to take. If you're applying for economics, I'd make sure that stands out in your activities. You seem to be involved in a lot, but I say this again and again: quality is more important than quantity. I did one or two major things in high school and really focused on those in my application (I am a sophomore at Harvard). You don't have to jam-pack your application with tonnes of activities. They jumble into a huge mess and it's hard to really see what you're passionate about and could contribute to a college campus. You won't be able to do 10 things, for example, at Harvard, so the admissions committee is looking for one or two specific things you could contribute. Good luck!</p>
