I virtually never chance anyone, but this case is clear. You should look for more realistic choices. Sure a super reach is okay one in a while, but I think you are wasting time here (and what does it matter what you wanted to do when you were a little kid? did you want to be a fireman too?) You may be happier at results time if you have some colleges you are excited about that you actually get into.

Admit rate is 7%

ACT mid 50% is 30-34, 83% of student has that, only 17% had 29 or less

The gpa puts you dead in the water
92% were top 10% of class
98% were top 25%

I can see giving an explanation for grades if all semesters are excellent except for one. But I don’t think you can rely on a parent divorce to help you much, if anything. It is, unfortunately, something a lot of kids have to go through.

The Fringe Festival is a cool EC.
