Retake in December. A 29 (which you said is your superscore) won’t kill your chances, but everything else will have to be pretty amazing. URM does help, though. Retaking and raising your score can only help, so I strongly recommend doing so.

Math 2 will also help. Try raising your score even more than 720. An 800 will go a long way to alleviate the 24 in ACT math (however, since you’ve taken the ACT 3 times, is the 24 the highest you’ve ever gotten?)
