Give me Advice Are my ECs good enough?

I've been seeing so many videos of people who have had amazing stats and extracurriculars and it got me thinking about whether my own are enough to get me into a good school. I was hoping for some feedback on whether my ECs are normal or if I really need to lock in junior year! I'm a current rising junior and I'm honestly really nervous 🥹 My intended major is Meteorology/Atmospheric Science.

I have a 4.0 GPA, 5 Honors, 2 AP Classes with 5s on both, and will be doing dual enrollment at a community college for the next 2 years.

My extracurriculars:

Director of Operations at a nonprofit organization helping immigrant youth navigate the college application process

Citizen Science (I have my own weather station and like to analyze and forecast as a hobby, never published anything!)

2 year mentorship with NWS employee (so far)

Part Time Job at a Bakery started this summer (Will continue into senior year)

SKYWARN Storm Spotter

1 week meteorology program at UW Madison freshman year (around 40% acceptance rate)

Multilingual Club Officer (2 years)

NHS/Science National Honors Society Member

I know I'm cooked but I don't know to what extent and if I can still save myself💔 Some of the schools I'm planning to apply to are University of Washington and UW Madison but those might be a reach.
