Definitely let us know about your fluency in German. Since it won’t be on your transcript we won’t know unless you share that aspect of your story with us.

Additionally, we might recommend you take the ACT again or try the SAT. A 30 is an okay score but it is below our middle 50% range for out-of-state students. If you can improve it will only help you and it won’t hurt you if you don’t.

Otherwise, you hit the nail on the head as for what you need to do. Show your personality in the application. Demonstrate your leadership and commitment to ECs in the EC section. Pick good people to write letters of recommendation on your behalf. Use the essay to tell us something about you we don’t already know and to show your personality. Take advantage of the optional submission and the fine arts supplement if you feel your talent in theatre is strong and you hope to continue that involvement in some way in college.

Hope this helps.
