<p>Do I stand a chance at getting in or should I pretty much assume that I’m going to be rejected?</p>

<p>You’re not rejected until they reject you - remember that you do have a chance. My daughter got in as a freshman this year with a good gpa and low ACT scores. She made sure her essay reflected all the strong reasons why she wanted to go to the school - she was passionate about it. Put your focus not on your chances but on why this is the school for you and why you would be such a good fit for them.</p>
