<p>yeah the gpa is a little low but probably the only thing that could hold you back. sat scores are good enough and course load sr year seems good. if you had an upward trend or something like that the gpa will look a little better. ecs and ap scores are good also. i think you could get in if there is something phenomenal in your app that balances out hte low gpa. good luck!
ps. im about to post a chances thread of my own, id appreciate it if you could reply</p>

<p>Your test scores are really solid as is your senior year course load (I'm not quite sure what Regents classes are because I live in CA, but I seem to remember one of my east-coast friends telling me that they're like AP's?), and good extra curriculars.</p>
