You have an impressive list of extracurriculars and are clearly a strong student. However, it is hard to give you recommendations without knowing what type of schools you are looking for (small? big? liberal arts? pre-professional? where geographically?) Still, here are some of my suggestions off the top of my head: MIT, Harvey Mudd, Stanford, UC Berkeley (these would be high target/reaches but they are what comes to mind for someone with your profile).
Thanks a lot for the advice.
I don’t really have any geographical preferences - perfectly fine with big or small/ rural or urban.
Do you need financial aid?
No, but I would like to apply for a scholarship.
