Hello, I was wondering if someone could chance me.

Chinese-American
Female
Massachusetts
First Generation

GPA: End of junior year (2.4 UW) / Expected end of mid-senior year (2.6/2.7 W)
SAT: 1500 / Hoping to retake for 1800
Courseload: First time taking APs or honors in senior year, Took Biology twice

Extra-curriculars:

2 to be 3 Years Elementary School Tutor
3 Years of Asian Club
3 Years of Key Club

Jobs:
1 Year Ice Cream Store
1 Summer Selective Hospital Medical Program for High School Students
1 Summer Hospital Volunteer

Essay: On being a very outspoken person, how this is the opposite of what a traditional Chinese family expects of their daughter, and how it has shaped who I am now.

Recommendations: From two teachers at school, and perhaps a very close supervisor at my hospital medical program.

I know it will probably be hard to gain admission seeing how only a few (8%) of attending students have a GPA below 3.0. But will my being Asian help me out somewhat in admission?
