<p>I think all of these colleges are reaches despite your heavy courseload based solely on the weak ACT score.</p>

<p>I would disagree. From what i know of the universities a 32 is in the middle 50 percentile at everyone one (idk Princeton) on the list so I wouldn’t worry about the test score at all. You fit the applicant pool, so now it’s just a matter on how much your essays made you stand out. That’ll be the deciding factor. Best of Luck! :)</p>

<p>I take what I said earlier back. I misread your ACT score… ANyways, yea tipa891 is correct. Work hard on those essays and you will have a decent shot! GOOD LUCK!:D</p>

<p>I do wonder how you managed ROTC with the sports since they both have after-school stuff.</p>

<p>The JROTC program is really good about working with your sports schedule, at least at my school</p>

<p>Any other opinions? Also how much of a difference does a letter of continued interest make (I sent one to Penn this month)?</p>

<p>One last bump</p>
