Will I get accepted with my tough classes and awards for research?

Also, as a VERY lopsided kid, I can say that Grinnell tends to be more forgiving of deficiencies if you have strengths to make up for them than other LACs of its caliber tend to be. I got a 34 ACT but had a godawful 3.0 GPA; Grinnell was the only LAC I applied to willing to look past the GPA and look at my test scores and EC’s. Similarly, my roommate has a 27 ACT and a decent GPA but amazing EC’s like you. I think if you really put the time into studying and practice tests, you could make it happen. Go to the ACT/SAT forums and read up, then get to studying. You still have plenty of time to improve.
