Because it is so competitive, everyone’s chances are relatively small, but for what it is worth, your stats are very similar to my daughter’s stats. She applied and was accepted RD. Your stats seem like they put you ‘in the pack,’ and your chances should be as good as anyone in a similar position. Candidly, based on my reading College Confidential posts, my guess is you would be deferred at ED. Good luck. You sound like a very interesting applicant.

Your stats are decent but ECs seem a bit limited. I can sense that you put a lot of time and effort into art; hopefully you emphasized that in your application. But I can see people viewing you as a “generic” applicant: good test scores, fine GPA, a few activities, but lacking that “wow” factor.

MiscTroll, thank you, I’ll make sure to do so.

Bonenz, thank you, that makes me feel a little more confident, if deferred hopefully it leads to acceptance :wink:
