<p>you’ll get in.</p>

<p>Run with the autism thing and you can probably make up for the somewhat low GPA. What are your SAT-II subject test scores like? (You need at least two, preferably three).</p>

<p>I would say you have a fairly decent chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Your UC GPA is rather low. But I agree with TheHutt, capitalize on your involvement with autism in your essay and you’re golden.</p>
