<p>Your stats are similar to my sons. He will be a freshman in the fall, but was more focused on English/Humanities (National writing awards including Scholastic Gold Medal, some film awards). He also is involved in our church, and is a first generation white male from NJ. I think you have a better than average chance (which is still very small, so love some other schools) as long as you distinguish yourself in your essays. Be careful that the “professional” you are working with does not take away from who YOU are by having too much input in YOUR essay. Best of luck to you!</p>
