Hmm. When I saw your ACT score, I was about to say for sure, you'll get in, especially since you're in-state, but your GPA is pretty low.

Hopefully they take the ACT, ECs, ED, and the visitations into consideration SUPER heavily :/

What is your weighted GPA? Considering that you took 8aps, and your instate I think your chances are decent.

you have a decent shot. i'd say if you can write some pretty outstanding essays then you'll get in. however, without the essays, you're a reject.

^^^ that's not true. It depends how much they weigh your GPA as compared to your great ACT and other factors. You're not an outright reject, I'd say.
