Hi there,

Well it's tough to assess given the limited info here, but I'd suggest looking more into the class profile and stats of that school... what their range of grades is, their selectivity, etc. Some schools may even be open to a conversation... you could attend one of their info sessions (online could work) and ask for any feedback or minimums in terms of academic performance etc. At face value it does sound quite tough based on that GPA. You could consider enrolling in some courses now, and getting A's or equivalent, to show that you CAN handle the academics. Good luck and keep us posted on how we can help!
