Hey! I was accepted to Wes for this coming school year, so I think I can give some advice, though I’m probably not the keenest person on CC when it comes to college admissions.
I talked to an admissions rep last fall and he told me NOT to submit an ACT score below 32 or 31 because it could hurt me in the admissions process. With their new test-optional policy starting this past year of admissions I was a bit skeptical about not submitting my score of a 30, but it fared well for me in the end. Basically, I wouldn’t send it (even though you definitely ROCKED the english section). My GPA was basically the same as yours, so that looks good.
If your school offers AP classes and you didn’t take them, I’m not sure if the community college classes will compare (because, like i said, I’m no expert). Your EC’s are really cool! And helping out with your family business is also really cool!
In my amateur opinion, I’d say you have a great shot at Wes if you apply ED and a pretty good shot if you apply Regular Decision. (I applied ED round 1 with similar stats and got in)
Good luck!
Omg u rock ur def getting in! Awesome job
