<p>My son will be a freshman in Engineering Physics (through College of Engineering, not the LAS Physics) with stats that are below what you posted. I don't know if Aerospace is more or less stringent that Eng Physics, but he was admitted during the first round of decisions back in December. </p>

<p>Just one data point, but I'd say you have a great shot.</p>

<p>I was accepted last year with worse credentials.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.2 W, not sure what my UW was, but id say around 3.9 as well.
Class Rank: 11/435
Test Scores: 30 ACT (I converted your SAT scores to ACT using a chart, came out to 30 as well.)
Classes: all honors/accelerateds where available
APs: Calc AB, Chem
EC: A whole bunch</p>

<p>So, even though my rank was SLIGHTLY higher than yours, your stats are much better than mine. Id say you have a good chance.</p>
