<p>I think you definitely have a shot OOS, I just don't know how much. I think great SATs balanced out GPA, so you are neither at an advantage nor disadvantage. You may want to re-take the SAT though, to get it even higher (it is excellent, but just to further diminish the GPA issue). Good luck!</p>

<p>ps-Make sure you are taking the most rigorous course possible. That's vital as well!</p>
