<p>Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>Everything above looks fine. Write a great essay.</p>

<p>Perhaps raise your ACT score a bit to about 33-34. Do that, write some solid essays, and you look like you’re in at most of those schools.</p>

<p>Thanks for the Replies, Yeah I’ve devoted most of my time this summer to studying for the ACT to improve my score just a few more points.</p>
