<p>Sorry to be the party pooper, but you do not have a "great shot."</p>

<p>You're more of a slight reach, mainly due to your out of state status. With your OOS status, your test scores are diminished to lower levels. As such, I would work on improving your test scores, even if that means studying over the summer (yes, summer) and subsequently retaking one or both in the fall.</p>

<p>Your rigor of course load is great, but your test scores are pretty low for an OOS applicant.</p>

<p>Improve to around a 31 on the ACT or 2110 on the SAT and you should be a match.</p>

<p>Hopefully that helps.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
