<p>Yes, of course you have a chance. Have you visited Mudd? Are you sure it’s the place for you? If so, why? Make that case in a good, solid, well-written and specific essay and it’s hard to see how you could not get admitted.</p>

<p>That GPA figure threw me off for a minute, lol.</p>

<p>You definitely have a chance, I would say.</p>

<p>Only thing I can really mark you down for is the SAT writing score (middle 50% of the 2014 class was 670-760), but other than that, you have a fairly balanced app and a good chance of getting in. Just make sure to write a strong essay explaining why Mudd would be a good fit and you should be good to go.</p>

<p>Just my experiences though - somebody with more background could probably give you a better guess.</p>
