I tried to post this earlier but I don’t see it; I’m sorry if this is a repeat post.
I was wondering if any of you would be willing to look at my stats and give me a second opinion? I feel as though I’m on the cusp and I would really like some advise or commentary on my statistics.

@Dkreich I think your extra curricular sound great, and your workload seems like you challenged yourself. Also, your 34 act is a great score! I think your 3.5 GPA can be chalked up to the fact that you took difficult classes at a competitive school. I think you have a great chance, especially because the review is holistic!
