<p>Your GPA may hurt you a little bit, what is your rank? If you are in the top 10% of your class that is good. You have some very impressive ECs, if they were presented well in your application, I think the adcoms will be impressed. I project you are not an auto admit nor an auto reject, but somewhere in the middle.</p>

<p>Your stats look good. You have great EC’s. As QEDdad said, your GPA is a little low, but that can be made up for with a high class rank. Again, your application looks competitive, all you can do is apply. Good luck!</p>
