What should I focus on more for my college applications: Internships or Extracurriculars ?

I am a 17 year old junior, and I am about to head into my senior year, and I know that internships are very helpful for gaining experience and showing professional development, which colleges sometimes use to determine admission and scholarships; but I also know that extracurriculars help showcase who you are and they help tell your story better, which colleges like using when viewing your overall application through holistic review. So, I am not sure which to pursue more.

What is the best way to write a scholarship-winning essay?

I've found that I can be a good writer if it is for a literature class, but whenever it comes to bragging about what I have done within four years I'm a blank and whatever I write becomes emotionless and tacky. I currently have no clue for how to fix this so any ideas help!

What should I be doing to increase my chances for getting accepted into college as class of 2027 ?

Hello, I have a 3.3 GPA and a 20 ACT. I have done theater all years of highschool and am a Thespian who is also going to ITF. I have been a lifeguard for 4 years. I have a marketing internship that I got in the middle of junior year and I run and manage social media for 2 businesses that are under the same manager. I still have one more trimester before applying to college and I plan to apply early action for all colleges. These are the colleges I am applying to: PBA, UTAMPA, FAU, USF, UMIAMI. I am very worried because my ACT score is very low, but if the school is test optional I will not be submitting my score. I am wondering what I can do to better my chances and make sure I get into these colleges and maybe get scholarships too. I plan to major in marketing and minor in theater only if I get scholarship money for it, if I don't get scholarship money I will minor in advertising and social media. I have taken all the theater classes my school offers, along with many honors classes and these AP classes: APUSH (C), AP Psych (A), AP LANG (A), AP CHEM (D), and I plan to take AP Stats, another AP English, and APES. I also am taking Marketing and plan to take sports and entertainment marketing next year.
