It is impossible to jump from an 1860 to a 2400.

Regardless, an 1860 + a 3.0 is not likely to be accepted to CAS. I’d say that for every .3 you are off from 3.7, then you need a 100 points on 2000. Likewise, a 3.4 (B+/A-) would need like a 2100. And a 3.0 would need a 2200. Assuming, of course, these classes are all honors/advanced/AP.

AP classes can also help. I’m sure if you have a 3.3 with a 2K SAT and 6 APs… you’ll be fine.

It really comes down to the perfect balance among them, but when you have dropped AP courses, a 3.0 GPA, and a low SAT, then it becomes very unlikely. I’m sorry.
