@abaileca You know, I’m just a parent with my daughter looking to join the class after you. (She’s a sophomore this year.) I have no particular expertise, but what you’ve posted looks like a strong application for any school. You should definitely apply!

@abaileca … I have no idea whether being Samoan-American will give you a bump, but I am sure there are others on this thread who will let you know. As far as your another accomplishments, your GPA is excellent with a rigorous curriculum (does your school rank?) and your extra curricular activities are very strong. Your only soft spot is your ACT score. I strongly recommend getting it to a 34 or 35 if possible. Also, your subject test scores will be important. Overall I would say you are def in the hunt.
