Once you have that ACT score up, I think you have a great shot!! All schools love ED. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

You have a great shot and the first generation part really helps too! I think you’ll definitely get in.

thanks! I just hope the admissions counselors are thinking what you’re thinking.

thanks!

The ACT score will be pivotal. Unless you can get it to a 31, I don’t think your chances are that great. If so, you’ve got a good shot. Good luck
