<p>What are you saying</p>

<p>I’d say you have a decent chance, but be aware that tons of kids who apply do so because they have a ‘decent chance’. At this level it’s really a mystery who gets that acceptance letter in the end. I wouldn’t stress over ‘chances’ or anything - just be glad you gave it your best shot, and you’ll have no regrets. Best of luck from a fellow ED applicant! :D</p>
