<p>depends on how much weight they give to your community service, IMO.</p>

<p>Your academics are definitely on the low side, and white female out of state isn’t going to work in your favor.</p>

3

<p>i’m def. going to try to raise my gpa this coming school year, as well as my SAT score. </p>

<p>also, i overcame an auditory processing disability but i don’t know if this will help or anything.</p>

4

<p>oh also, what are my chances if i apply ED? i would also send in some artwork.</p>

5

<p>Overcoming a disability does help, so do mention that somewhere in your application.</p>

<p>Honestly, though, I don’t think you have a great shot. Your stats are just too low for an OOS female. I feel like best thing you could do is work on the SAT score… but you would need a significant increase from where you’re now, probably 1400+ on M+V. </p>

<p>Applying ED helps significantly, but with your stats, you’re probably still out. A higher SAT score could help a lot.</p>
