I was accepted Early Action with these stats:
ACT: 27
SAT: 1180/2400
Rank: Top 40% out of 700
Minnesota (I mean, come on...I go to a large, suburban high school, and only 1 person, a kid for that matter, knew about the school...and only because they made a run in the NCAA tourney a couple years back.)
I think it definitely helped that I showed early interest, not only by applying early, but by contacting several admissions counselors (my state one and also the one who deals with recruited athletes, although I wasn't even a recruited walk-on

I emailed with my state admissions counselor probably over 15 times throughout the late summer and early fall.
Just to note: it is slightly easier to get in as an in-state-applicant than out of state.
Good Luck!
