<p>Besides this, I've taken honors classes, with the exception of math sophomore year in Algebra 2. They placed me in the wrong level class (I was supposed to be in honors), but they weren't able to switch my classes cause there wasn't enough room left. </p>

<p>I also went to a technical school freshman year that solely teaches IT 1/2 the day. </p>

<p>You have a shot, see if you can increase your ACT to a 34+, raise your GPA. If you are international your ability to pay out of pocket will also be just as important </p>

<p>I’m not international, so not much of a problem there. lol</p>

<p>Leave “Anime Club” OR “Fencing team” off your application. Admissions officers will see you as just another nerdy Indian girl. </p>
