<p>your gpa is really good so you should have a good shot; what's your rank? the only slightly weak one is the ACT score; raise that, you're fine</p>

<p>also you have great work experience. be sure to mention it on the application</p>

<p>i think im 12/189 (top 7 or 8% i think), it might change after this semester because my GPA will stay the same but most my classmates took a really easy senior schedule so its possible someone might move ahead of me.</p>

<p>i was accepted with a GPA much lower then yours but had a 31. so you should be competitive, esp. if you raise your testing scores.</p>
