<p>Yes, I would say ur GPA is indeed a week point, maybe a little sparse on the ECs. Testing scores are set to go. Assuming excellent recs and essays, i would say you have a shot. Again ur GPA is gonna hurt you (though slightly compensated by ur current course load which seems pretty heavy)
Diversity and ED II will somewhat help too.</p>

<p>Overall, a shot, but definitely make sure your other school apps are given solid attention, since it goes without saying you definitely want to be prepared for possible wait-list/rejection.</p>
