Do I have any chance at all? Be honest...

My class rank very low for admission to this school, between 25-30%. However I have great test scores (2180 SAT with an 800 in math) and EC’s, and an upward trend in GPA (My GPA is a 3.42, but in junior year was a 3.83). I was definitely a slacker freshman and the beginning of sophmore year for various reasons, but I tried hard to get good grades this year. I got a 4 and 5 on my 2 AP classes, and am taking 3 AP’s next year. I’m really interested in CMU, but will that dreaded bad class rank make it an impossibility?
