As a fellow Eagle Scout here I can say that it will definitely give you a leg up as an award/ec. GPA isn’t great but not awful either. Your ECs seem solid (and eerily similar to my own) and your course load is ok. I would try and load up on AP classes your senior year too. Obviously the elephant in the room would be your ACT but take that again and see if you can bump the score on that, as it is however I would put it at a mid/low reach but if the ACT was nearer to 30 I would say low reach and maybe even high match territory. All in all I’d say worth a shot at least. Good Luck!
