I know it's difficult to say my chances, but I was wondering if I could get a general idea on what I should improve on. I am a junior in high school.

GPA:
Weighted: 4.04
Unweighted:3.98
Class Rank:9/175 (It could be better now, that rank was from last year.

Classes:
Freshman year: Geometry, Honors English, Into to Engineering, Biology, German I, Gym, and a health class.
Sophomore year: AP World History (4), Chemistry, Gym, Honors English, Algebra II, Principles of engineering, and German II
Junior year: Dual Credit chemistry (chem II), AP English, Dual credit pre calc, Engineering design and development, AP US History, and German III.
Senior year (probably): AP Physics, dual credit English, AP Calc, AP Gov, computer science I, and maybe AP German or AP bio

Test Scores:
I scored a 1310 on the psat (thats like 97 percentile, i think.) I'm aiming for 1450 this year.
I got a 4 on the AP world test, but I feel like I can improve.

Extracurriculars:
Rifle team: Varsity letter 10, 11, and probably 12. 2nd at tri-county match as an individual and 1st as a team. 2nd team at state match. Student Coach of the year award. I volunteer to help teach new members of the team around 5 hours a week for 6 months of the year. I'm running for captain.
Technology Student Association: 9th, 10th, 11, and 12th grade. I was elected secretary this year, and I'm running for president next year. I participate in the coding state competition.
Nanoline Robotics: 10, 11, and 12. I am co-captain. We qualified for the regional competition last year, and hope to do so again this year.
Supermileage team: 10, 11. I am secretary and driver. We won the innovation award at the state level last year.
I plan on joining NHS this year.

Work:
I work at the movie theater in my town: 11, 12.

Summer:
I was my school's representative for the Hugh O'Brian State Youth Leadership Seminar.
I also work at a consignment shop.
 
I’m not seeing athletics/physical fitness. That’s an observation of an area that seems lacking for you.
 
You seem to participate in a lot of ECs and have a lot of titles. The bigger question is, have you made a meaningful impact on the organizations or communities or causes you’ve touched? SAs want to know that you’re not just a club joiner or a title chaser, but a true impact maker. That’s real leadership. Make sure that comes through in your application.
