<p>Hello guys. I am new to the forum and I finally decided to crack and post a "chance me" thread. I applied early decision to McCormick School of Engineering. My stats are:
-2180 SAT (700 math 700 reading 780 writing 10 essay)
-33 ACT (34 eng 35 math 31 reading 30 science)
-800 Math 2, 740 Chem
-marching band for 4 years (manager 2 years, section leader 1 year)
-piano for 10 years (certificate of merit tested every year)
-paid internship for a month at a tech startup
-excellent essays (according to my composition teacher and essay consultant)
-teacher recs are generic, positive but not outstanding</p>
<p>Since you have applied ED I think that your odds of acceptance are quite good. You are a high match. Certainly not a lock since no one is but at least 50-50. Good luck.</p>
