<p>Thanks alot and if you could please tell me what I could do to improve I would appreciate it.</p>
<p>first off I can’t believe that the class of 2016 is applying!!! I am getting old haha…</p>
<p>everything looks like the standard application so you have a fighting shot…the farm raising is an interesting/stick out piece that maybe you can expand upon…applications are all about sticking out so you really want to find your unique attributes and emphasis them.</p>
<p>Thanks alot for the feedback. It is encouraging to hear what you said. Good luck in your studies!!</p>
<p>I mean, you look ok. However, if I were you, I would definitely try to raise my ACT at LEAST 2 points if you want a decent chance at getting in. You also might want to consider SAT subject tests as well. They’re not required, but they certainly help out.</p>
<p>This summer I am working at my parish cemetery and put in about 20 hours each week there. Does this seem like a strong addition to my application?</p>
<p>It will help show that you are hardworking, especially if it is volunteer work. </p>
<p>The only thing that really worries me is the fact that you aren’t in the top 10% of your class. A vast majority of the admitted students will rank inside the top 10% of their class. Any improvement there will really help.</p>
