That stuff sounds like every other kid who applies...You need something that really makes u stand out. I had a 3.8 in high school, was on the hockey team....did the volunteer work and all that, 1420 SAT. The thing that made me stand out a bit was the fact that i started my own e-business and used about 70% of the profit to create a program that collects and donates food, clothes, toys, shoes to homless children. Ill be honest with you...i could have cared less about the children....i did it purley to improve my application, and it worked. After i was accepted i shut the program down and kept 100% of the profit. I now attend Harvard as an economics major. I suggest you just you find things outside of school that will allow you to display some leadership...those are the best. The in school stuff you have sounds good...you just need that extra push over the edge. Good luck.
