1. Your GPA is OK, but your ACT score is marginal.

Don't waste your undergrad years studying "International Relations". There are few career possibilities with this Major.

2. Your extracurriculars are impressive; however, your ACT score is below the 25th percentile of accepted applicants. If your gpa is unweighted then hopefully your weighted gpa would be up to par with the average 4.2. I know you didn't want statistics, but numbers are what count. Admission boards not only see your application individually but compare it to the entire pool of applicants. I'd say take the ACT again and aim for a 30 or try taking the SAT and aim for a 1300 (CR and math). I'd say that if you can raise your test scores you have a pretty decent chance of getting in!

Also, don't give up on international relations as a major. It's what I intend on majoring in as well, and there are plenty of job opportunities within the government (which is the largest, most stable employer in the nation).
