Thanks for reading! Please share your thoughts!!!

Unlikely. Average student is top 6%. ED will help though

If interested in engineering, I hope you also put in some nonbinding EA apps . Do you have safeties like ASU or UofA in your plan?

I have some safeties, but BU is my dream school. I feel like my essays are pretty good because there is a personal connection to BU and it is related to my major.
