Internships won’t make up for GPA. GPA at every school is the most important thing, and very few things can make up for it. It is going to be a challenge, but you have a chance.

Personally, I think you are in great shape. Your ACT scores are very very good, and defiantly will stand out. Your GPA may be slightly below, but everything else makes up for it (3.53 UW is fine). I think the chances are in your favor.
