<p>what is your strength of schedule like? Your minority status and EC's certainly help you, but you need to take the SAT or retake the ACT and get your score a little higher. I think a 25 - 27 would make you a lock if you take a tough course load.</p>

<p>Hey, I'm in the same boat as you are, though my GPA is slightly lower than yours. But the thing is that we cannot lose hope, we've got to keep on trying. Right now the odds are against but as long as we continue to do well anything is possible!</p>
