<p>It seems like you have a pretty good chance. GPAs are all relative to your school; some schools inflate their GPAs, some do not; some go by a weighted scale, some do not. Regardless, your AP scores have proven your ability to keep up in high level college courses. So I think that you have a good chance, especially going into CAS</p>

<p>Also about your GPA, it shows that you have been steadily and impressively improving and admission officers really like seeing that happen in a student; it shows that you have been able to improve while challenging yourself</p>
