Application improvement

I'm a junior and I haven't figured out what i want to do in the the future. I am interested in Computer Science, Marketing, Buisness and Nutrition. I have a passion for football, sports, and video games. I’m really in a stuck area right now between trying to be well rounded and having a big spike. For sports/football I play football and was a freshman, and JV captain and I hope to crack Varsity this year. I also am a coach of a youth flag football team. I also started a football club at my school the last year and am president of ultimate frisbee and I am trying to get a competitive team here. For Video games I have created a couple of my own small video games and look to make more hopefully. I also have my own tutoring business where I teach math, english, and coding so far Javascript, Python, an Html I even coded my own webpage for it. For computer science I did what i just said, I also am a member of Coding Club and I think I can get vice president this year and I placed 8th in state for the school of mines coding competition. For business I have my tutoring business and I also run my own baking business with one of my good friends and this past year we did a fundraiser where we raised $521 for a teacher at our school who lost her home in the Marshall Fires. I also do FBLA where I can hopefully get a leadership role this upcoming year. I am also a member of chess club and key club. I also have a job at Topgolf as a food runner. I am in a club called knowledge bowl and have a high chance of being vice president where we won state back to back years and placed 2nd in nationals my freshman year and placed 5th this year at Nationals. I have a 3.9 unweighted gpa and a 4.5 weighted gpa and i scored 1270 on psat. What are some things i Could do my junior year to really improve my resume

Wow, these are all really impressive! I’d say the one thing you can do is keep your grades up. You have an awesome GPA, keep it going and make sure to stay on top of your school work with all of these activities. Take some challenging courses if you can, too, like APs or dual enrollment if your school offers it. GPA is the first thing AOs look at on your application.

Also study for the SAT so you can bump up your score.

And, more importantly, enjoy high school! It goes by so fast.

Good luck!
