<p>It will largely depend upon what you get on your ACT, but even then it’s a crapshoot. You have a chance, and that’s the best position you can put yourself in. Remember - having a chance means your chances of getting in are slightly higher than the acceptance rate = 10-15%</p>

<p>Bump, more opinions please :slight_smile: I will chance back!!</p>
