<p>Reach... GPA is very low and SAT does not make up for it by any means</p>

<p>definitely a reach, especially if you just submitted your application. If you haven't submitted it yet, you're probably screwed.</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with the 4.0 scale, but if it translates directly to percentages then your GPA isn't so good. They generally look for above a 96/100, probably even higher. </p>

<p>I got a 1320 (2100) SAT, and I got in, so you should be okay there. Writing is not as important (SUCKS because I got a 780!).</p>

<p>Your ECs are good enough. No issues there.</p>

<p>I assume your recs will be fine. What about your essays? Did you do your absolute best on them? Are they original and do they reveal things about yourself?</p>

<p>It also depends on whether you are in state or OOS, which you didn't mention. Admission for OOS is tougher.</p>

<p>Oh, one more thing, I submitted mine 10/10 and I think my school sent my transcript and everything on 10/18. I got the decision about a month later... you should probably double check to see that your application is 100% complete.</p>
