<p>i think here what really matters is your essay; if your common app one was incredible, i’d say your chances are pretty good. you definitely have the scores (not so much the gpa, though) to get in. what doesn’t look so good is the fact that you’ve taken only 2 AP Classes and you still have a pretty low GPA. i think the only mitigating factor when it comes to low GPAs is a deathly tough schedule. So on the whole I think it’s a big reach for you, honestly.</p>
