<p>Your grades are obviously fine (for either school). </p>

<p>Your ECs are fine, though not overwhelming. Your Sr. Schedule looks ok.</p>

<p>As it stands now, your ACT is a bit lower than average for either school. However, it’s still worth your applying. </p>

<p>Your stats probably put you in the group of applicants where many students are accepted and many are rejected. Improve your ACT and your chances will improve.</p>
