<p>So, you’re gpa is below the average, but it doesn’t mean you don’t have a chance. Your ACT score looks about right, so that’s not something to worry too much about now. As for your ECs go, your involvement in varsity sport will likely help a lot, as well as your course rigor if you took honors/AP. Take your time to write really good essays and getting some recommendations wouldn’t hurt.</p>
