<p>yea you do have a chance..but your Cum GPA is about a 3.14 uw which i think is kind of low...if u bring up your SAT score you should be good tho</p>

<p>Top 10% and 1240. I think you have a great shot but that GPA overall is low. They will look at your course load and it isn't bad, about ten advanced classes. I think the top 10% should eliminate any problems with GPA you may have and the 1240 is within range so you should get in. Being OOS I wouldn't be surprised if they put you on the spring semester because if they saw it as 3.14 and a 1240 instead of top 10% and a 1240 you would have trouble. I think the ranking would be more important as it compares you to other students and you do say it is an elite school.</p>
