<p>I will be honest, the GPA is a low (LA is like a 4.17) and the SAT's are respectable, but I think your going to have to plead your case in the essays. </p>

<p>I really don't know what to say cause I don't know how bad your life is. </p>

<p>I highly suggest taking Dec. SAT (Hope you have already set that up.)
Make sure that you essays are really put together.
Your'e gpa is set in stone but what can you do about it.</p>

<p>As of right now it seems like your a longshot but I wish you the best of luck.</p>
