<p>What is your CR+M? A 2120 is somewhat low but if you have a low writing score, then that might not be as bad as it looks. I’d say you are a competitive chance just like the vast majority of the students who apply. Are you guaranteed? Hell no. Almost no one is. Will you get in? Probably not. Should you apply? Why not?</p>
