<p>Your GPA is great, your class rank is great but your ACT score doesn’t matter.<br>
Your have a good amount of AP classes, your course load appears intense enough, your community service really sparks positive attention and your extracurricular are great.
I’m sure you have a very high chance of getting this scholarship.
I got it this past year and my stats were nowhere near yours so I think you have a very good chance :slight_smile: However, your essays and recommendation with carry a lot of weight so watch out for that. </p>
