<p>Is your GPA weighted or unweighted? SAT II's are a bit low, as is your total GPA, but you've done really well your senior year and this shows. For the CGS, I would say you have a good shot (but what do I know :D).</p>

<p>3.15 is weighted.</p>

<p>This is a tricky one indeed...given that you have some fairly "unique" ec. and good SAT english score, I'd say that cgs is a slight reach/high match. The reason for that is your SAT writing section is kind of low and gpa is on the lower side. The fact that you sent interest letters can work for your or against you. But, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you. So don't completely count on your chances.</p>
