Thanks so much!

My guess is you might be looking at a deferral. Legacy will help, but your ACT is somewhat low for REA. Your essays sound good and your EC’s are fine. It will probably come down to how strong the pool is. I’ve known legacies with your scores and similar profiles who have gotten in EA, but that was a couple years ago and the pool seems more competitive. If I was wagering money, I’d probably bet that you’ll see a deferral then acceptance in RD. Good luck!
