<p>It’s not giving me an option to edit my post for whatever reason, but I’ve also had a part time job since November of 2011 working 8-16 hours a week. I also forgot to add that I have played lacrosse since freshman year, and was a Captain of our varsity/club team junior year.</p>

<p>I think if you report your ACT and not your SAT you will have a better chance. Being in-state will help you. Keep working hard, do well on your AP Exams, and I think you have a pretty good chance.</p>
