Your GPA is a concern, but they care more about how you did compared to others at the same school than they do about your GPA. Unfortunately, your class rank is not mitigating; you are barely in the top 2/5 of your class.

On the other hand, the number (12-13) of AP classes on your transcript would at least merit a careful reading of your application.

I think it would be very difficult/unlikely for you to get an admission offer as an OOS applicant, though.
