<p>Your stats seem to be on the bubble so your chances are not really clear-cut. Compare your stats to the 2008 Freshman profile-

<p>The mean GPA for those admitted was 3.8UW, middle 50% SAT 1960-2230; ACT 29-33.</p>

<p>Your test scores are right in there but GPA is a little low. Your nice ec’s could make the difference.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
