<p>You don't have a particularly good chance. Even as an instate applicant, you'd have a tough time getting in with your GPA and outside of the top 10%. Stranger things have happened, though...</p>

<p>ur gpa seems kinda low so get straight As from now.

<p>the C's are gonna kill you, but there's nothing you can do except keep the grades up (waayyy up) and take a heavy senior year course load.<br>
i got in with similar SAT's...but do something extra. a music/art supplement would be a fantastic addition to your application, if you have that opportunity. good luck with the national merit contest and with your admissions!</p>
