<p>You can’t ask us whether it’s worth your time to apply. If you want to, then you should.</p>

<p>However, all I know is that you should raise your SATII english grade and SAT I/ACT grade to optimize your chances.</p>

<p>If you raise your SAT and SAT IIs…it doesn’t seem like you’d have that big of a problem.</p>

<p>Probably not worth it.</p>
