<p>You have some great EC’s and hooks, and the fact that you’re writing a 60 page thesis should look very impressive, especially if you could get whoever is supervising you to write one of your letters of recommendation. I’d say that the only real thing bringing you down is your test scores, but you already know that. Have you considered taking the SAT instead? Overall, you have what it takes to be a competitive candidate. Nobody here can be more specific than that. Make sure to work hard on those essays and best of luck!</p>

<p>Thank you and my teacher( who is also a Political Science professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock) supervising my thesis will write my letter of recommendation.</p>

<p>African-American male from Arkansas with top grades, demonstrated interest in a subject matter, a rec from a presumably established professor, and (assuming of high quality) a book-length dissertation? Still retake the ACT anyway since you have time, but that’s probably not even necessary-I’d think you’d have a strong a shot as any.</p>
