<p>I guess the only thing that is iffy is your ACT score. The rest of it looks good, just spend a lot of time on the essay.</p>

<p>I agree- your stats are good, your class selection is good, ec's good- a higher ACT would seal the deal. Your chances are good, but you never know. You need to show your passions in your essays- make sure you stand out. Try to tie it in to your interests and your major.</p>
