Is there any hope?

I’m very interested in Bard. I like their creative writing program and their non-traditional curriculum. Okay, I’ll admit that I’m not the amazing student that I see constantly on this website. I’ve gotten 80s on almost all report cards, though my strengths tend to lean towards history and english. My PSAT scores were about 630 in both English sections and a 510 in math. I’m a very active participant in my school’s club, Build On where we will build a school in Nicaragua. I also take an intensive creative writing course outside of school and I’m a really good writer, particularly in fiction. I have ADHD and a history of depression. I heard that they are very good with support services, but then why is admissions so competitive? Should I aim for Bard or dream on? Any thoughts?
