<p>I don’t know if you have a chance, but here is the location of the common data set information. Section C has admissions data. Part C7 shows you what they consider to be important in admissions decisions. One thing that strikes me is the stat that 98% are in the top quartile of their class rank (C10). Did your early years drop you below that level? If so then I think the odds would be difficult. </p>
