DISCLAIMER I am a Junior so if you have any improvements/anything I should do to further my chances of getting in please feel free to let me know! Thanks
You stand a good chance! A very good chance! But if you are only a junior, I suggest retaking the ACT for an even better score, as you have the time for it. Also, take AP Statistics or an AP math class if you can, they’ll really like that. Always take the AP test if you can.
@whenderson272 Thanks, I’ll definitely look into that for sure!
Haha I definitely wanted to give my own advice on yours because you were really nice to do one for me!
Personally, I would take harder classes, esp. since you are a junior and have time! But your extracurriculars are stellar which I think is a really good thing to set you apart from others. From my research it is all about being unique to the admissions officers. Otherwise, I would say 50% which can for sure go up with harder classes!
You are very well rounded and seem to have a very good shot! I would just make sure in your essays you highlight the business experience you have had, as they are always looking for WHY you want to study in this particular field. best of luck my friend !!!
