<p>Well, they say you need at least a 3.7 to have a competitive chance. When I applied last year it was 75 spots available out of 1800.. so you do the numbers.</p>

<p>Make sure you write a great essay and keep in contact with them, but them...give them your name ect.
All the way through call whenever you have "questions" find ways to get to talk to people ask about certain circumstances, ect if you can find a way for them to get to know you its a plus.</p>

<p>I will be going there next fall, was accepted and deferred admission for a year so I could make a trip to africa a week from today!</p>

<p>The diversity is a plus I would say</p>
