Do I even have a chance?

How about class rank? Probably retake the ACT, but you’re close. 31 is a good starting out point. Get the 5 real ACTs book and the princeton review one. Read up on strategies and math+grammar rules during the weekdays. Take the full timed tests for practice and review all of the questions on the weekends. You can still take the September and October ACT dates for EDI. You can easily bump it up a few points; aim for a 33-34.

If you can’t retake/get better than a 31, chances depend on your background. If your high school is actually in a disadvantaged community, like either very rural or inner city, you’ll get leeway. If it’s just a kind of mediocre suburban high school, you won’t. With a 31 and good class rank/ec’s it’s still worth applying EDI, since it’s not that far off the mark of what accepted students have, but it’s a little on the low side.
