I think you have a very good chance. One of my kids got in two years ago with a 3.3 and 1080, only top 1/2 but great activities. Do the extra essay, and definitely get logged in as having visited the school. Try to speak to an admissions counselor when you visit the school, to reinforce that you’re very interested. Another one of my kids is getting dropped off there as a freshman tomorrow! This kid got into some very selective universities and picked SUNY Buffalo. Both of my kids chose SUNY Buffalo since it’s a great value for a good education (and we’re out of state).

You’ll find useful profiles of admitted students for prior years at collegedata.com, and can look at postings on admissions chances on the discussion boards at CollegeConfidential.com (use the tools to look at older postings — most schools have their own discussion board). Good luck!

Probably 100%, that school isn’t exactly competitive.
