<p>Course load:
• Six years of math
• Five Years of literature
• Four Years of Biological Science
• Four years of History/Social studies

<p>Things I will do this summer to beef up my resume:

• NHS
• Running for Student Council or starting a literature club at school.
• Biomedical research and publicationI got this internship but its starts next fall, not in the summer.</p>

<p>Apart from UT-Austin, the others are all very high reaches.</p>

<p>is there anything I can do to improve?</p>

<p>Get your SAT up to 2200+. Though 2250+ or even 2300+ would make your chances even better with your ECs and GPA.</p>
