Do you think I’ll make it in the 2018-2019 Freshman class? Give me odds! Please and thank you. Every reply is much appreciated:

I am really passionate about agriculture and food sciences. This may sound touchy feely but I truly want to make a difference in the world. I want to create a sustainable food source or growing medium that can aid those in third world countries with the global food crisis. If you have an idea on which major this applies closest to, I’d love to hear it!

Major: Agriculture or International Agriculture and Rural Development
Colleges:
University of Florida
Cornell University (dream college)
Delaware State University
Ohio State University
Alabama A&M

Grade: 12th
Class: 2018
Rank: Top 9%
Unweighted GPA: 3.83
Weighted GPA: 4.51 (self-calculated, my school doesn’t report weights)
ACT: 29 Composite, 29E, 31R, 28M, 29 S. Retaking next month (would love to have a goal score)
AP: AP Calculus AB, but I didn’t take the test. (received a B)
Dual Enrollment: My school allows me to take courses at my community college to work towards a degree there, for free! I have taken several courses so far on the college level, receiving mostly A’s with a few B’s:
English 101 (Freshman Composition)
English 102
African-American Literature (Critical Reading Class)
Nutrition and Wellness (Life Science)
Analytical Calculus with Geometry
Media and Society
General Biology (both semesters)
General Chemistry (both semesters
Cultural Anthropology

Gender: Male
Ethnicity: African American/ Black
First Generation College Student
Location: Arizona
Finances: I will need financial aid.

Here in lies the worry:
EC’s
First place in High School Science Fair (with recognition from mayor) freshman year.
Recognition from Community College and put on their Dean’s List
Over 100 volunteer hours with my church and private organizations.
Full-time job and management position in fast food.

My dilemma is my studies. I am an online student, so we have no student body, or clubs to participate in. My city is such a small town we barely have any activities, to the point where we have to go into town just to volunteer.

What are my odds? Any suggestions or feedback is greatly appreciated!
