<p>I’d say you have a very good chance of getting in.
Just make sure you write interesting statements (you can write something about being hispanic or culture differences because the college aims for diversity in students) and do NOT slack off in senior year (don’t over-stress yourself either). Those SAT and SAT II scores will definitely help (colleges don’t look at PSAT, btw).</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>thanks for the advice! i def. dont plan on slacking senior year, i already did enough of that.</p>

<p>By the above I presume your junior gpa is much better than your overall gpa, ie your grades are improving- if so it looks very good. BTW- you will find Madison a good place to run.</p>

<p>I would say you have a decent/ good chance of admission. I myself like the school, done lots of research on it, though it is very expensive for out of staters… in case your not aware of the tuition cost.</p>
