what up homie!
lowk a bit jealous of those extracurriculars!! i think youre all good. all those AP classes are gonna make that GPA skyrocket too. i think as long as you keep those As up, keep chugging with those ECs, and write a fab essay youre all good. btw my best friend goes to OU (you mean ohio university im assuming and not like oklahoma or sum). but anyways i think youll be all good. :)
So far, so good! Considering the schools that you want to attend, and the fact that you plan to retake the SAT, I think you are on track.
