<p>I'd say you have a pretty good chance of getting in. You have a lot of experience in your field, which will look good. Your GPA isn't too too bad, especially considering you're in a very competitive school. Your classes look really good! Your SATs are pretty good too, higher than the ones that got me in at least, haha. Write a good essay just to be sure, but I think you'll make it!</p>

<p>Apply as an exploratory as a backup then it is not too awful hard to internal transfer...a lot of my friends have done that</p>
