I think if you pull your gpa up to a 3.7, keep in the top 11% of your class AND improve your ACT score, or turn in a good SAT, you have a great chance at being accepted.

I think your chances improve by doing any of the things I have marked as > above. I also think you should visit and let them know you are serious about the school (my D visited in Feb of her junior year - we combined with a mini vacation) and that trip did wonders for all of us.

Finally, think you should plan on applying Early Action - the acceptance rates seem be higher in that pool.

Hoping others who keep viewing this thread will jump in here…
