Chances for UCF CJ/MPA dual program

[TBL]

So I applied for a new program the University of Central Florida just started, which is a dual masters degree in both criminal justice and public administration. Just kind of wanted to get a general idea what you guys might think my chances are for admission into such a program.

GPA: 3.16 from the University of Florida (Finance major)

The low GPA was due to one semester of straight C's because I thought I was going to major in accounting. Boy was I wrong...

This program does not require a GRE score which is why it is the first program I applied to seeing as how I have yet to take the GRE. I emailed an admissions person and they said it is highly recommended if your GPA is below a 3.0.

I'm currently a police officer in the state of Florida. Not too many special certifications or anything to add to my resume as I have only been on the force for about 8 months.

Before that I was part of a sort of apprenticeship program with the same police department where I was sponsored through the police academy, held leadership positions, 2nd in the class in academics, etc.

I held an internship with a federal law enforcement agency while attending UF where I also trained the new interns.

I've held a student job with the UF police department while attending UF.

I think I screwed up my admissions essay slightly, but I'm going to have 3 awesome letters of recommendation from people in the criminal justice field. Just wanted some honest opinions into what you think my chances might be for such a program. I'm 21 btw. I think I could easily get into the criminal justice program with no problem, it's the mpa side that I'm worried about due to my age and lack of professional leadership experience.

What was you major GPA? For instance, my cumulative GPA is absolutely terrible; however, my major GPA was 3.66, and I have a 4.0 in a grad program. From what I know, programs are usually concerned with your major GPA/last 60 credit hours. You appear to have a competitive application as far as experience goes, though.
