<p>^ ^
Your grades and ACT * are not * far below average. Your ACT is within the mid 50% range. Many students have been accepted with 3.5 GPA, if you took the most rigerous classes.
How many APs have you taken? A 3.5 GPA having taken numerous APs is different than a 3.5 GPA with few or no APs. On the common app questionnaire, will your guidance counselor state you took the most rigorous curriculum?</p>
<p>What is you class rank? Your definition of pretty bad might not be accurate.</p>
<p>You have many factors working in your favor: URM, first generation, low-income, overcoming financial and family issues, and males are accepted at almost twice the percentage as females. </p>
