<p>Interesting profile. Write a good essay and I think you stand a good chance. Make sure you explain that Junior year GPA</p>

3

<p>you know full well that you have a chance :)</p>

4

<p>2340,2250 and 3.88....i think your a likely acceptee</p>

5

<p>"2340,2250 and 3.88....i think your a likely acceptee"</p>

<p>BS.</p>

<p>it's pretty hard to get in, and your scores aren't the deciding factor. this is really misleading.</p>

6

<p>you have to have some pretty decent ECs as well</p>

7

<p>definitely in the range, check out prior years threads and you will see that it is impossible to predict admissions outcomes based on data</p>
