chanceme / advice?

so about me: i’m a rising senior. i’m a biracial (black and white) female from a very low income household in the south. my unweighted GPA is 3.5. my school doesn’t do weighted so i’m not exactly sure what that would be. i’ve shown an upward trend each year. i take AP, honors, and DE courses. no regular classes. i’m a strong essay writer.
i also score very well with testing and i’m scheduled to take the June ACT and SAT. practice ACT, 34. i’m predicting a high score.
ecs:

* varsity volleyball player, all 4 years
* basketball player Fr. year, manager for Jr. and Sr. year
* photography and film
* clarinet and acoustic guitar
* creative writing, songwriting and poetry
* singing + chorus sr. year
* acting and modeling
* NSHSS

extras:

* part-time babysitting
* caring for siblings

SCHOOLS

this is where it gets a little questionable for most people i talk to this about. STAY WITH ME PLS

* NYU Steinhardt (ED) or NYU Tisch (ED)
* UCLA
* Fordham University

for reference, i do have safeties. i just want to go to these schools the most, especially NYU. it’s my dream school and i genuinely feel a pulling at my soul to attend.

please give me advice in regards to extracurriculars, essays, and just any ways to strengthen my application
