Do an internship, especially if you are applying abroad. Universities appreciate them alot and unless you are stacked with great ECs + grades, it's a near compulsion to do atleast one. (Plus, you're helping the community, which is a good thing) If you can have some work experience in the field you wish to go into, that's a better option.

You could do other ECs regarding your field as well. (e.g.. starting to learn coding)

If you haven't given the SAT/ACT yet, make a pick between them (see a test) and practice it accordingly.

Doing A2 syllabus is an advantage and lessens the burden, but grades alone are only enough if they include distinctions or something like that (even then they aren't enough sometimes for top schools). So while you can't jeopardize your grades, don't jeopardize your ECs over them. Find a balance - which isn't as hard as it sounds.

(BTW, this EC thing is mostly for good foreign unis. Pakistan Universities are grade based).

How to register for an internship? Is it done through school?

Bari jaldi yaad aya hai. :D
FB mein all internships are shared. Gingy compromises for that by constantly keeping in contact with Community Service pres. Make an FB account or come regularly to school to ask them about internships.

Prepare for my personal statement and prepare for math competitions in July & August.
And maybe get ready for A2 this winter.
