Please evaluate my plan for this summer

Hello! I am a rising senior , and since last week I have been planning for perhaps my most productive summer yet. I would like your honest input on whether my plan is tenable, whether it would exhaust me too much or is not productive enough, or how I could revise it.

Below is the list of things I plan to do starting May (as of now): (no rigid schedule yet)

  • Get my 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine (5/4)
  • 6 AP Exams + final exams/regents (NY) (School year ends mid-June)
  • Get my driver’s license by early June (a bit late ik)
  • Work on my Common App/Essays and supplements
  • Summer research (remote) for Institution name undisclosed
  • (Possible) Internship for Institution name undisclosed (Yes, that’s 2)
  • Visit some colleges (CWRU, WashU, et cetera)
  • Get a (part-time) summer job at a retail store or a restaurant

For some basic information, I am a prospective mathematics/neuroscience double major in a T30/T20 who plans to take the pre-med track.

Obviously I not only want to bolster my applications but also make the most out of the last summer as a high schooler, whether it be in experience, money, or memories! So again, please feel free to suggest things I should add or delete from this list or your personal judgment.

Honestly junior year summer is the summer for experience and jobs so I guess this is perfect as your essentially fine tuning your application now. I would just recommend working on small things you’ve always wanted to do or getting ready for college.
