<p>Everything is great except for your gpa, which unfortunately is usually the most important aspect considered in a college application. High test scores and a low gpa often signal to colleges that you might not be working to your full potential and can also be sometimes interpreted as a sign of laziness. Regardless, that is the only major flaw in your application, and I think you still have a chance of admission.
