Your a little under the GPA but instate and last two years doing well. Think you have a decent shot. They will look at your senior grades so keep them up. Taking that many AP and doing well is a great sign. Make some contact with your regional school person. Ask the question of how much influence does the freshman year make on your upward trend.? That’s a hint to them about your upward trend. It’s legit question and gives you contact with the person that might help you or not.
