You will most likely get in if your major is not that much competitive. I got in for spring 2017 as a transfer student. They look at your GPA when giving you scholarships if you are a transfer student. My GPA was little less than yours and they gave me a $16,000 scholarship. Best of luck!

If you do mind me asking, how long did it take them to give you an admissions decision? Also, I selected undecided - arts & science as my major.

It took them around 2-3 weeks but now the semester is close so you should receive the decision in a week if you apply now. Have you emailed Gina? you can ask your questions to her, she is very helpful.
