<p>Bring your GPA up beginning of senior year.</p>
<p>If you can get a 2200+ and apply ED you have a good chance.</p>
<p>2000+ in fact, you should stand a reasonable chance there.</p>
<p>you need better ECs. do/make/participate in something/multiple noteworthy things.</p>
<p>your essay must not be good, it must be exceptional. make it describe a topic in a unique way while simultaneously showing who you are as a person and saying something special. </p>
<p>make yourspace really awesome too.</p>
<p>same with teacher recs. i’d correspond with them over the summer and try to establish relationships and when you ask them to write your rec, give them additional info about yourself so they can make it more personal.</p>
<p>letter of continuing interest should help too.</p>
<p>i don’t believe they have a cutoff, so if you can compensate for what may be a less than stellar GPA by making the rest of your app outstanding, I think:</p>
<p>High Match.</p>
<p>Definitely do an awesome job on your application.</p>
<p>Best of luck, PM me if you need to.</p>
<p>Hopefully I’ll see you there, I’ll be a sophomore there in the fall!</p>
