1177 was the number of incoming freshman, not the number of accepted. They accept way more because only a small percentage actually matriculate. While I can’t find it right now, I believe the number of accepted students for that year was somewhere around 4K and they fill the majority of them with in-state students.
It’s true you have pretty much no chance of getting in with your current stats, but you can wipe the slate clean by applying as a transfer student. Your high school GPA won’t even matter then.
