I think to have a decent chance if you apply ED2. At an information session this summer my D and I were told ED statistics are ACT of 26-30. Sorry I can’t remember what the GPA average was but it was also significantly less than regular decision.
ED2 you have a chance if you have good letters of rec and good essays I’d say
Agree with the above, RD would definitely be a stretch but you would have a better shot applying EDII like me. Also you should apply to CGS if you want a better chance.
Chance me for EDII?
