<p>I believe so but your chances reduce as you get closer to regular decision. The university seems to focus on bright kids who really want to go to school there. If your grades and scores aren’t the greatest then you really need to focus on your essays. Also, if you really want to go there then I would suggest ED2, if that is still available.</p>

<p>The university is considered selective with a 42% acceptance rate. We have been told, your chances are better if you apply early decision. Good luck!</p>
