I haven’t written my essay yet, but I am pretty sure it will help my application. I also am a first generation college student, I think that might help a little as well. Thank you!

With the exception of your SAT score, your academics seem pretty good (but I’m not too sure about how much math you need/what level). Your ECs seem related to your major, so it definitely shows that you have interest in your subject area. Also playing the race card should be really advantageous, so overall I don’t see too much of a problem. If you weren’t applying early action, you could have brought up your SAT score to a 1400+ and that would have given you a much better chance though. Good luck!

I think you would be just fine.
