<p> I think you will get in. If you screw up your essay, your admission rate is 0%. </p>

<p>Yeah, I'd say you have a good chance if you apply ED. Maybe about 60% accept / 40% defer. I wouldn't be too shocked by either. Good luck though!</p>

<p>You're UW GPA is very low, but legacy status and ED are best friends, so you have a good chance.</p>

<p>yeah, ED + Legacy should do alot to defray your bad GPA, EC's are not very original but they are still very solid.</p>
