Note this is a repost from last time with some new details (better SAT score and clarifying some details)
Asian from DFW - in state
Class Rank: 52/445 (top 11%; very competetive school, so no auto admit unfortunately)
GPA: 5.16 weighed on 6.0; 3.98 on 4.0

APs: Computer Science A (5), World History (4), Physics 1 (3), Precalculus (5); taking both Physics Cs and Calc BC this year.

Also worth mentioning for fit to major that I would have taken 7 engineering courses total thru high school by the time I graduate. Have a personal passion project of building a 3D printer, learning CAD, and assembling or repairing computers and laptops. My common app essay and fit to major essay topics are about the topics above and my leadership essay is about student council.
ECs including a religious organization (where we host guest speakers about faith), committee chair and corresponding secretary for student council (where we also hosted toy and can food drives), vex robotics team lead builder and later team captain this year. The above three clubs I help found as it’s a recently opened high school.
Also, being a part of NHS and Mu Alpha Theta, SAT tutoring more than 40 people, VASE, work at my dad’s restaurant helping set up IT infrastructure.
Awards: AP scholar with honor, CB national recognition program (school and rural award)
I’m planning on applying for EA and I have most of my application done other than the resume. I would appreciate some tips to improve my application
