What can I do to boost my college acceptance rate?
As of now I've just finished my sophomore year of high school. I participate in swimming for a club and swimming for my school. I also do art classes on weekends throughout the whole year. I've been starting to apply for many different internships to make my resumes look better and to maybe include in my college essays. Is there anything else I can do to make my college acceptance rates look better and stand out more? I'm not very informed on the college process and I want to know more information about it before the actual real "important" college grades. By that I mean many scholarships have deadlines in junior year so I want to apply sooner rather than later. Thank you!

I would like to suggest a different point of view for your point 7) above. It is totally OK to do sports even if you're not "REALLY GOOD" at them. You should be doing things you enjoy. If you enjoy a sport, then that's great. Athletic activities are great for your physical and mental health, not to mention they help people build important skills like teamwork and leadership that will be very valuable in your future, regardless of which major you study in college.
