<p>great sats & sat IIs, good grades (While they'd see your ms grades, i think they'd only actually consider your hs grades), decent ecs. I'd say you have a solid chance w/ ed
good luck!</p>

<p>You are in the hunt. For very strong candiates like yourself, who are not legacies and/or recruited athletes, I think ED may give a bit of an edge. Others have analyzed this much more closely. You're also first generation attending college which is a plus. Good luck!</p>
