<p>In MY opinion I feel like I have solid SAT and ACT scores, pretty good EC's and have consistently had a rigorous course load but my GPA is very weak and my class rank is nothing to brag about either. </p>
<p>So what do you think? Do I still have a shot? And would it better to apply early action or regular decision but send senior grades so they can know my junior year GPA was a fluke?</p>
