Thanks for reading! Please share your thoughts!!!

I’m going to go with no - however, not a hard not and ED will help. The reason I’m a no is because their average student is in the top 6% of the class and while you don’t know your rank, you think 20-30%.

That said, it’s not a hard no - and like everyone - have a solid list of matches and safeties.

Good luck.
