<p>would you be able to improve your GPA by the midterm report?</p>

<p>It’s a reach. Much better chance if you’re top 10%, with higher scores and if you’re full pay.</p>

5

<p>hmm i may be able to improve my GPA but not by much. GPA may reach 3.5 though</p>

<p>would it be better to apply ED rather than RD? according to online site:</p>

<p>Admissions Statistics (Fall, 2009)
Number of Applications: 36,944
Percent Offered Admission: 29.4%
Number of Early Decision Applications: 2,979
Early Decision % of Class: 28.5%
Number of New Freshmen: 4,650</p>

<p>so if you do a bit of math that would mean 1325/2979 of the ED people got accepted meaning 44% of the people got accepted. is my math right? how is the ED pool compared to the RD pool of applicants? more competitive, same stats, or lower stats?</p>

<p>If you really want to go there then you should definitely apply ED. I think you have a chance. It’s definitely worth applying. Best of luck!:)</p>
