I’m trying to get into LS&A and I would really appreciate it if you guys would chance me. Thank you! Also, if you could tell me which of my extracurriculars are the most noteworthy / which I should include on my application and which I shouldn’t, it would be very appreciated. I am also located in state.

Your SAT is average/decent, but not exceptional. Your unweighted GPA is too low. Because you’re in-state you have slightly higher chances, particularly if you go to a really God-awful public school, or if you’re first generation…but I’m not feeling overly hopeful for you because your gpa is just not competitive. Use whichever of your extracurriculars you stuck with the longest, particularly if you advanced to a leadership role. Good luck.

Both your GPA and test score are near or below the 25th percentile. Your GPA is going to be the major problem. Even for in-state applicant, your stat is not competitive enough. I know in-state student from a feeder school with 3.8+ GPA and 33 ACT got rejected by CoE a couple years ago.
