Your GPA is about average and your SAT/ACT scores are going to hurt you here. I don’t believe you have a hook (someone correct me if I’m wrong) but definitely a unique story that may help you get in if you have exceptional essays. I would not count on getting in, but definitely a chance. Good luck!
