I would say you have a pretty good chance, especially being in-state - contingent on essays, recommendations, etc, obviously.

Improving your ACT math score (or SAT equivalent) would probably be the biggest individual improvement to your profile.

I agree with the above to work on getting your ACT math sub score up. That’s the only red flag I see.

That’s definitely what what I was wondering. Thanks a lot for the help!
