Granted my school is a bit smaller so they were a bit more lenient. Here's what you need to do: look at all the requirements to get into the schools you want and see if you meet them. For my school the requirement was either a 3.0 GPA or a 1000 SAT score (I got 1130). When I got accepted they basically said "your sat was great, your GPA is acceptable. Welcome"
