<p>I’d say it’s a reach for you</p>

<p>I would not do ED with your credentials. AU should be your safety. You’ll get in fine with regular.</p>

<p>You’ll definitely get in</p>

<p>Your credentials are great. If you don’t apply ED, make sure you let AU know that you are seriously considering them and they are not just a safety. Interest counts in the application process.</p>
