<p>From what I see, you don’t have any leadership roles in your extracurricular activities – that could be a problem. However, since you are a double legacy AND ED applicant, your chances are boosted significantly. </p>

<p>Good chance especially in the ED round.</p>

<p>bump… I changed my mind and am now going to be applying to the engineering school. Does this change my chances? I am going to be taking the Physics subject test in the fall. </p>
