<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>being a legacy will help you tremendously because you will be reviewed as an in-state student even though you are out of state. Your SAT scores are good. You GPA is lacking. What is your class rank? If you are in the top 10% I think you have a good shot, otherwise it could be harder.</p>
<p>Wahoo hit the nail on the head. If your GPA places you in the top 10%, then you've got an excellent chance. If not, it will be more difficult.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I am more like in the 30th percentile. However, I do not think I stressed that it is competitive. I average 4 hrs of hw a night just to keep up with everyone else. The average SAT score at my school is a 1350 to give you an idea...</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the help.</p>
<p>The admissions committee will probably take into account the competitive nature of your school. Does your school report rank on college apps?</p>
<p>It does not. Thanks again for all the help.</p>
<p>Southern Boy,</p>
<p>Get in touch with the alum office. They have a special service where you go in and one of the alum office people review your credentials pretty thoroughly. Bring them an unofficial transcript, a list of test scores and ECs. They'll give you an idea if your application is realistic (no promises made but you do have a sense if your credentials match up). In addition, they will send you e-mails to make sure you meet the deadlines and, if you're not admitted, they will even speak with the director of admissions at the end of the process and see if any aspect of your application was overlooked or not understood.</p>
<p>We found this incredibly helpful, and I would urge you to take advantage of the service.</p>
