<p>You are in the zone. Definitely retake the ACT --one point on the composite can make a real difference and the science section of the ACT can coached. Make your community service ECs stand out, particularly, if you are applying for social policy. Demonstrate real leadership in your ECs and avoid a list of routine clubs. (Red Cross looks interesting if you can show concrete activities organizing other kids or adults). What is your uw gpa?</p>
