How good were your junior year grades? Your senior quarter grades kind of hurt you as of now. ECs are fine, I was accepted and had about the same amount as you, but I think it helps if at least one of your recs reinforced your participation in one or more of those ECs. If English really is your worst subject, that might hurt as well, because I’m sure the essay counts quite a lot in the decision process, but I’m sure that as long as you have a good topic, a teacher can probably help you refine the language somewhat.
