DD accepted ED1! Physics major, music minor. No hooks. 1530 SAT, 34 ACT, 4.0 unweighted gpa, 4.3 weighted, NMSF. She did do the optional video. Recorded in her room by herself - very amateurish, but sweet. She played her cello in the video and just talked about some things that were not highlighted in her app. She’s beyond excited. I truly think it was her essays and the video that put her over the edge. She also had a handful of email conversations with her admissions counselor over the last few months.
