<p>Looks good, but work on SAT and ACT--you are in the running, but a few more points would really help.</p>

<p>It is going to be a close call, especially due to your class rank sorry to say. Just work on getting the grades up as much as you can and definately give the standardized tests another shot as they can really help a lot in close cases. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice. I am going to take the ACT again in Feb. The first time I tried it I got a 24 on the Reading portion (ouch!), so I hope that improves. Thanks again</p>
