<p>I've done some volunteer work, but not near the amount I think I should have. I'm going to try to volunteer more soon if I can, since I only have about 30-40 hours.</p>

<p>I joined the soccer team but my school cancelled it due to budget cuts before we could even have a practice.</p>

<p>I'm also taking the hardest classes possible at my school, which doesn't offer either AP or Honors courses. I'm taking two Dual Enrollment Classes, Algebra 3 and English IV D.E and also taking Physics. We don't have Calculus or Pre-Calculus here so I will take that later.</p>

<p>Algebra 3 D.E. counts as Math 100, 101, and 112 in College credit, and English IV D.E. counts as English IV highschool, English 101, 102 College credit.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Also the rank is 1/44 at a small Louisiana school so I know that makes it worse but meh what can you do.</p>

<p>Essay was maybe gonna be about my mom when she was an alcoholic because of being depressed about money and that made me want to get a good education so ..eh I dunno</p>

<p>Try to get the act up to like a 33 and you have an awesome shot. </p>

<p>Cheers,
Mike</p>

<p>you have a fair shot! :) couldn't hurt to apply</p>

<p>If you were applying ED, id say you would have 90-95% chance</p>

<p>Since you are applying RD, I'd say you have 80-85%, but most likely higher. I just dont want to get your hopes up. </p>

<p>Seriously though dont even worry about that. Those stats are more than credible and you'll most likely just get in. Apply and hope for the best. The worst that could happen is you lose 50-60 bucks, big whoop.</p>

<p>^^^ Idk about 85%. You've got a shot, but you don't seem to stand out from the others so i'd say you're about as qualified, maybe slightly more qualified than the average applicant. the 31 ACT is a solid score but i'd say 85% chance is a bit high for RD due to the fact that the RD acceptance rate is somewhere just under 20%. Congrats on the valedictorian and other stats tho. Good luck!</p>
