Smart move to go ED. Good luck! You certainly have solid a solid SAT score.

I’d say your chances are good! I got in RD (in-state) while being female with no interview, a slightly lower SAT score, much lower SAT II scores and (in my opinion) less impressive ECs. A 3.94 weighted GPA isn’t the highest considering your course load (average is 4.2), but the other parts of your application seem to balance it out. Good luck & Go Tribe!

Thanks for replying! Yeah I felt as if the weak point would be the GPA. Most my hard classes and good grades came later in sophomore/junior year so it’s my freshman year that is bringing me down. Hopefully they will see the curve up for my GPA.

For future reference… I got in!
