<p>you're right in the middle of it, apply and see what happens. definitely a toss up at this point. all depends on the admissions committee's morning coffee on the day they review your app i suppose. you've done all you can and have a good shot, so work on your app, write a good essay, and hope for the best.</p>

<p>Remember there are 5 students with your stats for every open slot, and with so many wonderful kids having been rejected in the past, and over-admitted last year, it's going to come down to your essays. Make sure they really show who you are. Good luck!</p>
