<p>You seem to have good ECs with leadership positions, so that's solid for the EC part of the application.</p>

<p>that ACT score may be all that's required, but i'd try to get that up. have you taken the SAT? some people perform better on one or the other, and simply taking the SAT once may allow you to get a much higher score relative to your ACT score because your mind functions better that way</p>
