<p>I think your have a good shot at general admission. I think its hard to judge your GPA because you don’t state if its weighted or unweighted. Have you taken honors or AP classes?? One of my son’s friends had higher SAT scores and GPA and was rejected to the business school. I don’t know if UCONN places you in the arts and science if they reject you for business. Good luck</p>
