<p>3.06 is very low for University Park. 1600 out of 2400 is below average for University Park. Everything else below first two lines of your post do not matter. I am not estimating good chances here. You can try one of the branch campuses to start off though.</p>

<p>^ I agree with lil_killer; your chance at UP is pretty slim, but you might have a shot at a branch campus.</p>

<p>Are you applying this year? You'll need at least a 3.7. It's not like you can bring it up anyway.</p>
