<p>I just finished my senior year and I’m going to Madison in the fall. I had similar stats as you, however, I would try and get up that ACT score. I don’t think yours will be detrimental to your application, but even just a couple points, and you’re in the 30’s, which just has so much more impact! Also, use your enthusiasm to go there to your advantage. Show that you want to go there for a good reason in your college essays, and it will go a long ways when the admissions counselor sees it! Good luck! </p>
