<p>Assuming you get a 32+ on the ACT, I think you’ve got a decent shot at NW. Your EC aren’t bad (don’t feel down) at all, you’re in clubs, school newspaper, volunteer, etc. Of course, the class rank helps, assuming you’re taking a challenging courseload.</p>

<p>Ohio state I think you will be a shoe in…your stats are good and it could go either way I think your essays will probably put you over the edge so write amazing essays. Also you have a well rounded resume</p>
