<p>you have a fair chance i'd say but the SAT is a bit low. it's not really bad though so don't worry too much. i'm in comm here now and it's a great program... so good luck!</p>

<p>You have a good chance do not be discouraged. It is definitely not a definite (although it isn't a definite for anyone) but it's a maybe. Good Luck. If it's meant to be it will happen.</p>
