<p>I would say you have a strong chance; though I’m not sure how to account for the discrepancy between your Math score and the fact that you’re applying to their engineering program. (Not to say that your score isn’t good, but those applying to engineering generally need really strong math scores to have a good chance.)</p>

<p>You’ll most likely make it. Your stats are very strong and you’re an URM.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying! Yeah, I feel like my math score is going to kill me, but I’m hoping that since I’ve gotten A’s in all my math classes that’ll help? I’m taking the ACT and the Math 2 Subject Test in December so hopefully I can bring up my math scores…</p>
