About my ACT, that's my actual score (not predicted). I don't think I can edit the post anymore.

Your GPA is good, and your ACT score is stellar. But your extracurriculars don't seem to particularly be extraordinary. Are you a good writer? If you can write well, I think your chances would be good.
