@paramecium12 : On the book, you have almost everything except shadowing (your AP scores are kind of low). You should be proud of your accomplishment. No one can really chance you at this level. IMHO, with your record, it is possible you might get multiple acceptances to several top 20 schools based on our experience. Be humble and show your personality through your essays. LORs are also very important . Best luck to you.

Don’t underestimate the need for several experiences in healthcare delivery, working with people and their health needs. And/or some sort of health related advocacy, (local, not some foreign land.)

I’d also suggest OP strongly consider not reporting the low self-study AP scores. The 3 and 4 in chem and bio will not help, nor the 2. Your school doesn’t offer AP, so that’s that.
