<p>gpa is pretty low but you certainly have a chance. i would say 20%?</p>

<p>It’s not the GPA I would be concerned about, it’s the ACT score. I got in with a GPA just a little higher than yours, but I had higher ACT and SAT scores. Your gender will definitely help you, though. </p>

<p>You might want to get involved with more extracurricular activities and retake your ACT. I didn’t even send in my ACT score (31) because I didn’t think it was good enough. I sent in my SAT+2 subject tests instead. So, yeah. I don’t know what else to say. Your college level courses and your gender will help you quite a bit.</p>

<p>get your ACT up to a 31</p>

<p>my son raised his from a 31 to a 34 with zero study, so mere famiarity with the exam may help you.</p>

<p>Even with a 31, however, they have a very strong applicant pool.</p>
