Do you think I need to do the Optional Personal Statement. I really don't want to, but if it will help me get in, then I want to do everything I can.

I have a 3.79 unweighted GPA (about 4.2 weighted)
31 Superscored ACT with a 36 in English and 35 in Reading but a 26 and 27 in Reading and Science
Five AP’s through senior year
About seven solid EC’s

I would be shocked if you don’t get accepted with stats like those. You should see if it would help at all to get you any scholarship money, however. If not, I don’t think you’ll need the optional statement to get you in the door. If you are applying other places, the essay may be able to be “re-purposed” for the essay requirements at those other schools. Good luck!

awesome, thanks! I just want to focus my attention on my mandatory essays, you know?
