<p>Your GPA will do
but retake the SAT…try to get at least above 2000. You have good ECs, make sure to write good essays and you’ll have a decent chance :slight_smile:
Chance me back?</p>

<p>I feel you could have a decent chance if you raise your test scores (this is important). Remember to keep pursuing your interests even throughout senior year and keep those grades up. You probably have a very interesting story so do yourself a favor and try to incorporate a bit of it in your essay. Best of luck!</p>
