<p>GPA is very low comparatively; this will probably cripple your chances of getting in. SAT scores are decent, but not enough to compensate for the GPA. Course load also isn’t difficult enough to compensate for the GPA unfortunately. EC’s are good, but they don’t have the kind of weight gpa/sats have. Take it with a grain of salt, but to be completely honest, I’d say your chances of entering are fairly low; you sholud have some backups.</p>

<p>Check out this link for entering freshmen to the colleges you are considering. 2011 is not available yet. Better to assess yourself against real data than to be unreasonably dampered or boosted by the thoughts of those that post here.</p>
