<p>You have a good chance but I would like to know if your GPA is weighted or unweighted if it is weighted your GPA is on the low size but if its unweighted than it is very good:)</p>
<p>@sacora unwieghted, thank you</p>
<p>Don’t take “chances” from anonymous strangers when American University actually pulblishes your chances from the previous year:</p>

<p>i think you’ll be fine, but “highest ranked public school in my state” is not something you should bank on for a couple reasons. First, the vast majority of applicants go to a public school and admissions is not going to take the time to differentiate. Second, I don’t know where you are from, but the best public school in florida or south carolina is a lot different that the best public school in new hampshire or new york.</p>
