<p>I’m guessing your a high school junior.
I’d say you have a decent chance at acceptance with your upward trend in courses, minority status and huge list of extra curriculars. you might want to highlight which extra curriculars are most important (put at top of list), such as being President of HELP, and VP of Frat. All those other memberships, put at bottom, they’re that that important. </p>

<p>your sat/acts aren’t that high, so make sure to do well next time.
so, do well on your essays/recs and you have a good chance.</p>
