<p>They consider rank. GPA should be a last resort, and though I'm not too familiar with GPA, I think that looks rather iffy.</p>

<p>Your ACT's look slightly above average.</p>

<p>Your SAT's are below the 25th percentile.</p>

<p>Your EC's look solid, did you make nationals for Forensics?</p>

<p>All in all, I'd say you are a bit of a long shot with a GPA and SAT's like that.</p>

<p>And I just realized this was a two month old post that was bumped.</p>

<p>You will defintely need to get your SATs up. Also, your ECs are thin. At this point, I'd say you are not that strong a candidate.</p>
