<p>Your GPA is a bit low for OOS. I think you have a reasonable chance, but I wouldn’t consider it a safety.</p>

3

<p>I would not call it a safety. You just squeak in at the bottom of the SAT and GPA is low.</p>

4

<p>I think with your hook, your chances are really good.</p>

5

<p>I think you can definitely get in, but like momof3greatgirls said, your grades and and stats are not nearly good enough to call it a safety school</p>
