<p>So I applied to UT Knoxville before the Nov. 1 scholarship application deadline.</p>
<p>My ACT scores were 24, 24, 23. I sent in my 23 and a 24.
Since they superscore, my ACT superscore is a 25
20 Math
26 English
29 Reading
24 Science</p>
<p>My weighted GPA is a 3.0</p>
<p>I go to a private Catholic high school in Illinois, so the rigor of the curriculum is above average.<br>
Freshman year, I took all honors, except for Spanish, but I jumped up a level.
Sophomore year I took just Honors Spanish 3
Junior Year, I took honors Religion, honors US History, honors Spanish 4, and AP Art History (4 on the exam)
And my senior year, I am taking AP Spanish 5 and AP Microeconomics.</p>
<p>Math is the hardest subject for me, so I decided to take a fourth year of it.</p>
<p>My extracurriculars include Co-Captain of Science Olympiad, Vice Pres of Green Club, I write for the school paper, I've played in band for 2 years, Italian Club, Spanish Club, ran Cross Country, and am part of the Senior Retreat Team. In the past I was involved with Key Club and the swim team. I was also involved with my church's youth ministry program before financial cutbacks.</p>
<p>Volunteer work included leading retreats at my church, leading VBS during the summer, volunteering at a local history museum, volunteering in the nursing home gift shop, and although I didn't put this on my app, I volunteered in Guatemala for a few days at a daycare for children on single mothers.</p>
<p>I worked this summer at the local state park in the cafe and bait shop, serving and preparing food and cashier work. In the bait shop, I maintained kayaks, canoes, etc. and sold bait and other outdoor goods.</p>
<p>My parents got divorced my sophomore year, so I wrote about how I overcame that obstacle in my personal statement.
I got to recommendatinos from my sophomore year bio teacher/Science Olympiad moderator and my Spanish teacher I've had for 3 years now.
Sooo what are my chances? Thanks!</p>
