<p>i'd say test scores and gpa a little low, but the class rank looks good. still go for it though, you never know. and if it's your dream school you will always regret not applying just cuz you thought you'd never make it. weird things happen, the whole admissions process is a crap shoot basically. some people are not so lucky, while some people get really lucky...hopefully you are the latter. :) i wish you alllll the best. :)</p>
