As you are already in your Junior year, there are only a few things to do to stand out from other applicants. First, write a very good personal essay that showcases your writing skills, your personal experiences and how much substances you hold apart from your stats. Second, apply EA or ED. Third, show the colleges that you are really interested in their college. Attend Campus tours, Virtual events, college programs, etc.
