Other than your ACT score, you have great stats. Considering that you’re applying early action and you’re in-state, I think you have a great chance. It’ll be even better if you can get your ACT score up.

Yeah, I would try to get your ACT score up. I got in this year in state with a 29 and I didn’t even really feel confident with that. Also, be sure to detail what you actually did in your leadership positions on your application.
