<p>Thanks for the reply. Any other opinions?</p>

<p>You have pretty good stats so I would say that you have about a 50% chance of admission. If you can apply ED I would recommend it as it would give you a substantial bump in the admissions process. Your ECs are pretty boring, so spice your app up with some good essays. Also, double check their website and make sure that if they require you to take high school chemistry that you do so next year.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you. I will be applying ED since BC is my first choice. I have taken chemistry already so I am set for that.</p>

<p>I know my ECs are pretty boring, but my school is pretty limited in activities that I’m interested unfortunately, and I have never been a sports person. So hopefully my medical ECs will show my interest in the field.</p>
