<p>I think that like everyone, it’ll be a crapshoot. You’ll have ~23% chance just like the rest of us!
However, I’d say that your ACT puts you right in the 25-75% range, so you’re fine there. Your GPA is fine too considering your schedule. Your extra curricular activities and the fact that you’re a male applicant are promising I would bet.
I think your chances are good.
However, I’m just an applicant too. So, everything I’m saying is fairly worthless.</p>

<p>try getting up the ACT/SAT to be closer to the middl/upper half of the spectrum and if you can do that I would assume you get in as long as your essays are good and have good teacher recs…and you send in your application on time…</p>

<p>I have a 31 too. I worked my butt off after getting a 30 the first time. One point. Ugh.
But hey. We’re the middle 50% so. It absolutely won’t root us in, but it can’t root us out either.
Solidarity.</p>
