You have an excellent list of extracurricular activities, GPA, and coursework. I would suggest starting early on your college essay. This has a much bigger impact on your application than most students realize. Start brainstorming topics to write about. Sometimes you end up writing a few essays before finding your best.

Also noticed you took the PSAT. Consider the SAT or ACT; begin studying early. However, based on your PSAT score, test-optional may be best.
