<p>gkauff28- I would say you’re a match. Your GPA is at least 3.9 if not a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale. Your SAT and ACT scores aren’t elite but they are good enough to be average. The only reason I wouldn’t say you’re a lock is because you’re OOS. But keep working hard and maybe try to get those test scores up and you should get in.</p>
