<ol>
<li>Check the colleges you want to go to about the Math I or II thing. They each have their preference or read the description on collegeboard's site and pick which one you'd do better on.</li>
<li>The National Youth leader stuff, everyone gets. I think it was something to do with your rank or GPA.
3.Asians aren't URM so it's not going to help..at most it'll hurt.</li>
<li>You should definitely retake Sat II World History IF you think you'll do better on that instead of United States History, if you don't worst thing that can happen colleges won't look at it, they look at the top 3, if I recall correctly.</li>
<li>You don't compare well to people who take 7-8 APs, but they don't compared you to them course wise. They look at what your school offers and sees which ones you take, basically if they see that you're school offers all 37 AP classes and you've only taken 4 at admissions time, they won't be happy. </li>
<li>Ivies and other top colleges are reaches for everyone</li>
<li>You need more Extracurriculars and some leadership positions...</li>
<li>Colleges don't look at state tests, or so I'm told.</li>
