<p>You have a lot of interesting activities. Your GPA looks great. If you can get your SAT scores as high as possible, that works too. The one thing that is missing in your summary is a strong commitment to one activity. Sometimes this is called being “pointed” rather than “well rounded.” I am very familiar with USC and Stanford. Most of the successful applicants have one area that shines. You have some time since your are a junior. You could extend your commitment to tutoring and to your animal group or… ? If you are president of the German club, you could figure out a unique way to make a contribution in that sphere. With your piano skills, you could play for senior citizens or offer to play for a childcare program after school or pair up with some singers and make a music ensemble. You could put some of your music on u-tube. I know of one high school singer who sang at a care center for patients with Alzheimers. One woman was quite nonresponsive socially except when she heard him sing every week and she came alive! Both schools are very interested in students who are new to the US and have potential to be very successful, add to the diversity of the student body, especially those with a heart for community service.</p>
