I'm a rising senior from Tennessee and so far I have a 3.84 GPA (unweighted), taking Honors classes. My school, unfortunately, doesn't offer AP, but it does offer joint enrollment with a local community college; I'll be taking some of these classes next year. I scored a 30 composite on the ACT, am a member of the National Honors Society, my school's Forensics Club, and the Beta Club, and began my tenure as captain of the Scholar's Bowl team last year (I've been a member since tenth grade, and since I joined we've won a local tournament, placed second in another, and placed third in yet another; additionally, we placed twelfth in the state last year). I founded the school's roleplaying club, which unfortunately proved short-lived, and created the Alternative Yearbook (which I really just circulate among my friends; nonetheless, I guess it could go toward my extracurricular credit). I've done very little in the way of community service, but I do help my mother teach a mock trial class for middle school students every year. My Scholar's Bowl coach- who is an alumna of UGA- has assured me that she will write a recommendation for me when the time comes. Finally, I've just returned from the Tennessee Governor's School for the Humanities, where I earned a college GPA of 4.0. So how good do my prospects look? What do I need to do to improve them?
 
add SAT scores, those are more important than ACT and they're harder (most colleges don't look at ACTs and most colleges require SAT scores)

other than that you're on the right track
