<p>OOS can go lots of ways, but I really think you’re fine, especially with the hispanic factor…</p>

<p>I think you look great, and I don’t think applying EA could hurt you.</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the responses! That’s great to hear about EA.</p>

<p>Yeah, you’re fine to go ahead and apply EA. I don’t think that bringing your GPA from 3.88 to 3.9x after midterm grades will have much of an effect on admissions so there is no reason you really should even consider applying 2nd deadline unless you wanted an extra time to write the essays.</p>

<p>Like jambaby said, OOS can go anyway, but you have a really good shot.</p>
