Looks very encouraging. That 36 math on the ACT will catch their eye. Nice job.

11 AP’s…shows a ton of academic rigor.

Only thing working against you is being out of state. If you happen to be first generation degree seeker, I have no doubt that you’ll be accepted. If not, your chances are still very good. I’d put them at around 70%

Best wishes, and good luck, please let us know!

I suspect you will be admitted, especially as you are OOS. One question: you list mostly academic subjects and awards. Did you mention/emphasise your other interests? My experience is that your “other” interests can often be a deciding factor as they seem to focus on what you can uniquely add to the university.
