P.S. Will the fact that i’m African American help me out with my chances of getting in at all?
Being a minority student will definitely help with admissions! The GPA and class rank are also stellar. The ACT/SAT scores could be higher, but they shouldn’t hurt you per se. The EC’s could be better but are okay. All in all, the combo of minority, GPA, and class rank should give you a good shot. I would think most of those colleges would be a low reach, so you’d have a good shot to get accepted at probably 2/4. Hope I helped!
Could you clarify what you mean by they shouldn’t hurt me per se? @tigerrocks13
Just that they’re good but not great. They won’t really help, but they’re not going to hurt either.
