<p>Also, my grades made a massive upward trend from 10th-11th. I went from C’s and D’s in regular classes to all A’s and one B in 11th grade in honors/ AP classes. All A’s for my mid-year report with my 5 AP classes.</p>

3

<p>That’s quite a turnaround. If you have a sympathhetic reason for your low grades in 10th, I’d put you at 80%, without I’d say 40-50%.</p>

4

<p>Even with the low ACT (for Case) and the increased applicant pool this year?</p>

5

<p>Your ACT isn’t THAT low, and your superscore is very nice. I wouldn’t expect any merit money, but you’ve got a shot.
Good luck!</p>

<p>You have a high chance of getting in. The upward trend pretty much seals teh deal</p>
