<p>I'd say you have a possible chance of getting in (but alas, not guaranteed by any means). The great essays/recs will definitely help (from what I've heard, many an applicant has written their way into CMC). Your grades and ACT's aren't the best, but they are far from automatic rejections also. Good luck</p>
