You're doing a lot. No indication you're excelling at any of them (your spelling, for example).
You should have an excellent GPA in AP classes, plus 4 and 5 on the tests. No less. You should have competed, or at least showcased, your extracurricular activities. Some recital or metric to show you did something more than just take a class. And even in high school, you should show you've taken some sort of initiative or leadership in something. Show that you're not ordinary, that you actually took a chance and lead or innovated in some way. That you'll actually contribute to the university community, not just sponge off it.
Otherwise, you'll be just like the other 5000 kids who have 3.9 GPAs, top 95% SATs, and know how to play "Fur Elise".

You're ok so far, but try and really excel at one of those things. Just doing lots of differenty types extra currics isn't enough anymore. You have to be special in at least one of them. Try and be on varsity tennis, and then play so you can get a state or national ranking. If you're really good at the piano, see if you can join some philharmonic or some other way of showing you're really good.
