<p>Although I tend to agree with your view on just sending in an app to see if lightning sets it afire, only the OP can make that final determination. The reality is that with a low GPA and marginal SAT, the OP’s odds are small, very small. Is it one in a hundred or one in a thousand? Who can say? But if someone knows that going into the process, then what’s lost except a $100 or whatever the fee is these days.</p>
<p>Some entire career fields, like film studies, are about getting the one in a million break so why not give it a try for the ap process?</p>
