Asian Male from NY, about 85k income bracket.
My GPA isn’t up to par (3.7ish unwieghted, I messed around a lot sophomore year) , but I had a pretty rigorous schedule all four years, graduating with 11 AP classes (World History, Euro History, Psych, Lang, US History, Physics 1, Calc AB, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, CompGov, Biology) a SUPA writing class, and a bunch of honors classes.
My school doesn’t rank.
Got a 34 on the ACT (35 E, 34 R, 33S, 32M),and took one last Saturday, hopefully I go up to a 35 at least
Took Math2 SAT2 in October, think I got 750+
I have a lot of extracurriculars (but only 1 leadership position and a bunch of community service (including at a hospital)
I also played football for 3 years and did crew for a year( had to stop because the cost was about $1000 a year, not school sponsored)
I think my LoR will be pretty good, as I asked teachers whose classes I excelled in and talked a lot.
I think you have a pretty good chance, but being out of state is a bummer. Good luck to you
