<p>You already know that your grades are low. That said, your EC’s are pretty awesome. Have you taken the SAT? Your ACT score is okay…I think that if you do really well your senior year, maybe bump up your standardized test scores and write awesome essays about your travel/work/volunteer experience, you might have a shot.</p>
