As a reference I applied with a 2230 and my class rank was top 20% with a rigorous course load and I didn’t get in. BTW I was instate. Everyone outside the top 10% who applied from my school got denied.

My guidance counselor showed me the naviance stats that fall and I knew my chances were slim. She said the say thing as 110%wahoo almost verbatim but encouraged me to apply anyways. So I worked hard my first semester and gave it a shot.

I guess my advice would be to work hard to improve your grades and scores. Really well written essays could also help. Maybe you might get in if you show you’re an interesting person. Good luck and hope this helps.
