<p>What college/major are you applying to?</p>

<p>Pros:
*URM status
*Okay extraccuriculars, nothing spectacular (don't mention anything from junior high)
*Semi-challenging courses (hard to say without knowing what your school has to offer)</p>

<p>Cons:
*GPA is only fair and thus class rank is probably a bit low
*SAT score needs lots of work, try the ACT</p>

<p>Overall....sorry to say, but I think this is a reach, particularly depending on what school you're applying to. Work on that GPA and particularly retake your standardized tests</p>

<p>The extracurriculars are excellent in my opinion. I'd have to know your class rank and weighted GPA though. The GPA is ok since you're taking honors and some AP classes, so that's a plus. It's a bit of a reach, kind of a match, but then again, we need the extra info.</p>

<p>i don't know my class rank just yet and my school doesn't put weight on the GPA unfortunately. :(</p>
