<p>*ALSO: I am type 1 diabetic and have mental health problems; will this help at all?</p>
<p>You should definitely apply, you have a really strong chance. Great grades, nice test scores, and leadership positions, you have a fantastic shot. Granted, its still a 11% acceptance rate, so I’m not guaranteeing your admission, but you’d definitely be in that top tier of applicants. If its your top choice, consider ED, if not, you’ll be a solid RD candidate.</p>
<p>In response to the question in the OP: yes, you should apply. As patriotsfan points out, a 12% acceptance rate is always a challenge but your scores are definitely in the range.</p>
<p>Since your school does not offer many AP classes, you might consider self-studying for a couple. Another possibility might be to take classes at a local community college.</p>
<p>Your ECs also appear a bit light. THe Yearbook is great, but be sure to describe everything you did with it. Similarly, Student Council might be a strong positive if you can point to specific accomplishments resulting from your efforts. Unfortunately at some schools, Student Council exists merely to give students another title for their applications without requiring any time or effort. Without substantiation, adcoms will assume that your school falls into this category.</p>
<p>Ya if you can make your ECs sound interesting/do just a little more I think you’ve got really solid chances, but like we have mentioned the RD acceptance rate makes things unpredictable to some extent.</p>
