<p>I agree with westsidewolf, make sure you have great essays.. and make sure you're involved in your EC's.
Also, get your GPA and class rank up as much as you can. Other than that, you have a really good chance of getting in.
Good luck!</p>

<p>well the numbers look good, but I mean they don't determine if you get in or not, they are basically required.</p>

<p>I would say your best bet is getting deeply involved in lots of things, possibly having experience or something that shows your interest to your major. Also, make sure you have the optional interview, it can only help you.</p>

<p>Just for a little boost for you, my scores were less than yours and I got in, so I mean you definitely are not at any disadvantage.</p>

<p>Good luck buddy =D</p>
