<p>According to CollegeBoard the middle 50% ACT range is 28-32
Your 30 puts you right in the middle.
My advice is to just stay focus and do your best on the rest of your application like essays and recommendations. Your ECs look fine but try to make sure you present yourself in the best light possible. Remember you only get one chance
I think you have a decent shot, but then again who am I?
Is Boston College your first choice? Well good luck!</p>
