Wow looks pretty solid. However, try to get academic honors. Maybe go on NHS? Or even student council or cabinet? Also, id try to get a better score in science and reading. Other than that, I think your good.
 
I agree that your record is strong. Get in the NHS and try for more leadership positions (the more the better)
 
Your profile is impressive. Improvements in your SAT/ACT scores will be very beneficial. If you're not happy with your scores, try again the earliest time they are offered this fall.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
 
So much depends on where you live. If you are in a non-competitive region, you look great. If you live in NoVA, you are average. Try to improve anything that you have control over, and get your application done early!
