Answer 1

Why don't you apply and find out?

None of us here can tell you because schools accept and do not accept people based on a number of things.  Each person is different.

Answer 2

ur grades suck but your sat average is 2060

soo i think u have a goood chance

ppl at my school who get in have like a 1900 (low) but then have like a 3.2-3.5 and they get in...so you should get in if you dont then i'd be shocked....
