Admissions Advice

How good are my extracurriculars?

I plan on applying to the big Texas schools (U.T Austin, A&M, etc) to pursue a degree in marketing. I've been working for TikTok as a Digital Marketer since I was 15, which means I made advertisements for large companies (NFL, FIFA, AMC, Supercell, Netflix, Rockstar Games, Cinemark, Sony Music, TikTok, Rakuten, Hasbrom Microsoft, etc), and I was just wondering how much of a factor that would play in my application for a degree in Marketing? I'll also become an Eagle Scout soon, take leadership positions in my Schools Audio-Visual Production Club (KCBY Coppell), and plan on doing around 50 more hours of volunteer work. Is this a good enough extracurricular set for these schools, or should I do more?

For my extracurriculars, I have a 3.65 GPA, and haven't taken the real SAT yet, but l've taken a practice test and got a 1260 on it, which I plan on improving in the coming months. I've taken 6 AP courses so far, finished 3 of them (3 this year, 2 Sophomore year and 1 freshman year), and scored a 3 on each AP exam. What do y'all think?

You are doing great! Try and improve your EC's, but your academics are good! For marketing, some good EC's are creating a club at your school and running small businesses (lemonade stands or selling your creations)!
