<p>I’d say you’re a decent match…but unfortunately they do weigh GPA a bit more heavily. Your EC’s and high SAT scores should make up for that. Just make sure you apply to lots of backup schools and don’t count on getting in.</p>

<p>Thanks, I’m relying on my essays to put me over the edge. Fingers crossed.</p>
