In my opinion I think it will depend on your essay. From a first read it seems like you are qualified enough to attend here. While you do have a 3.4 unweighted GPA which gives me pause, they will also see that you were in the top 25% of your class, got a 35 on the ACT, and challenged yourself a ton with your AP classes. Looking at your ECs, nothing really stands out. So you are at the point where they will know your qualified enough to attend, and that something unique about you that makes you stand out has to come from your essays. With great essays, you will have a real shot. Without, no one does.
@osuprof 5’s on both Macro and Microecon, and a couple of 4’s – none below 3. I am not satisfied with any of my other SAT II scores so I will only be sending in Math II.
