<p>Apply very early in the year…like September. You have a very good chance of being accepted at one of their satellite campuses for their 2 + 2 program. (Two years at the satellite, two years on main campus)</p>

<p>Maybe try retaking the SAT or take the ACT? higher test scores will improve your chances, since its hard to improve your GPA at such a late time</p>

<p>your course rigor will help you a lot as well.</p>
