<p>I'd bet you'll make it. It may be a bit of a stretch, but I'd not describe it as "huge."</p>

<p>It's a slight reach. I'd put your odds at almost 50-50. I wish you the best</p>

<p>I'd say match to slight reach. You might want to retake the ACT to get a slightly higher score before applying. Your English score was higher than math so you might want to look into taking the SAT because English sections are 2/3 of the score.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I'd actually say you're proooobably in. I know someone who got in with a 2.7 GPA, so with that in mind, count on it! haha.</p>
