<p>3.68 UW (3.85 without frosh) and 33 ACT, but strong ECs and essays. I don't want to waste my ED somewhere I don't have a reasonable shot at; white and OOS. All perspectives would be great, especially insight on a typical ED and unhooked admitted student's stats. Thanks!</p>
<p>AEM looks more at fit (expressed through essays / EC / leadership), so your ACT is fine and UW is not terrible. If you do want to give a shot at AEM (and is your first choice) then I would definitely ED. a lot easier during the ED round.</p>
