<p>Your GPA's are way too low (mine was 3.97 weighted, 3.72 unweighted, and that's at the bottom-end of the acceptance scale, I'm sure). Low-income will only help you with FAFSA, this isn't private school, where they take a certain % of poor students. Your awards are fine and all, but won't really help you. If you have a good personal statement, alright, but you might have to modify it slightly when the actual application prompts for 07-08 are posted. Your ACT is good, but your SAT is horrendous... mine was 1860 the first time, 1920 the second time (without any additional studying), so try to get 1800+. Study like CRAZY for your SAT II's.</p>
