Aim for a score that is at least 50 points higher than the average score for your target schools for SAT/ACT. Take advantage of summer oppertunities/internships. Get letters of recommendation.Try to get that 4.0! AND GOOD LUCK! <3

hi!!! Your profile is already stronger because of extracurriculars, keep doing that! :3 If there are leadership positions open, try for those as well. Colleges like seeing leadership in clubs, not just participation. There are lots of SAT tips and tricks available to make sure your SAT continues to stay on that path. I think the most important thing at this point is to try and get that SAT higher. In the meanwhile, make sure your extracurricular and SAT studying do not cause your grades to drop: maybe even try going higher!

As always, take care of yourself and dont overwork or stress. <3 you got this, good luck!!!!! :D

Adding on to what the other person said, get some leadership roles in those extracurriculars! Colleges love to see that.
