<p>The academics seem to be on point and you are on the right track in that regard. Your ACT score is good and it wouldn’t hurt retaking the SAT since I imagine your score will increase quite a bit. The only drawback might be is that your ECs are average. There are a lot of smart kids applying to these schools. Your ECs are the part of the application that differentiate you from the rest of the pack.</p>

<p>Your ACT score is superb! Get those leadership positions you mentioned…take challenging classes and get good grades… chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1668344-chance-me-for-hypsm-will-chance-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1668344-chance-me-for-hypsm-will-chance-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’d encourage you to take the AP Spanish Language and Culture (aka Spanish 4) exam. Pick up a Barron’s book and begin improving your reading/listening comprehension — specific grammatical principles are not tested. It should be an easy 4 or 5 if you can improve your comprehension!</p>
