<p>Yes you have a very good chance, your GPA and SAT are both above the accepted average.</p>

3

<p>Thanks for your response.
I've been told that my school rank might be pulling me down, does Davis take school rank into consideration?</p>

4

<p>Anyone else?</p>

5

<p>I think the rank doesn't really matter. As long as your actual numbers are acceptable, which they are. I think Davis is a good match for you.</p>

<p>Would I have worse chance if my intended major is biomedical engineering and my alternate major is biochem engineering?</p>

<p>Anyone...?</p>

<p>Engineering is harder to get into but with your stats you'll still get in.</p>
