<p>I love how helpful this thread is to the OP : ) But of course, this is very interesting too - actually, fascinating (especially since it has zilch to do with me, hahah)</p>
<p>to the OP: I think you have a fair chance. Your ECs are on the weaker side, but the Midwest doesn’t offer much (Iowa native here, represent!), so it’s somewhat understandable. Work on the essays to make you stand out. Good luck!! : )</p>
