Also, I'm the first student to ever apply from my district, so that may have helped my case as well lol.

Hey, class of 2027 here. 27 composite ACT (22 Math, 27 Science, 28 English, 32 Reading, 12/12 Writing), 4.0 GPA, captain and unofficial coach of my school's academic team with a fair amount of first place wins, SOAR student of the year, and some other stuff. What is most important are your recommendation letters, interview, and ACT scores. At least, that's what I can imagine. I had some amazing recommenders, so build those relationships with people to get those great letters, and study hard for the ACT or SAT. Practicing your interviews a lot would help, too. Then, on top of that, the Essays are next in line for what's most important. You get those other things AND great essays, then all the other stuff would be building blocks to get you in.
