thanksthanks in advance</p>

<p>I would say a most definite in.</p>

3

<p>It’s hard to say that you’d be anything but in at this point. </p>

<p>I’m not sure adcoms love letters of recommendation from public officials though – they’re usually halfhearted and impersonal.</p>

<p>O<em>O wowzers;;
thanks for giving me confidence people =</em>= im gonna remember this forever.</p>

<p>but seriously, without the sappiness, im seriously so happy right now o_o..</p>

<p>and the mayor and I are relatively aquainted; we’ve had meetings about orchestra tours and stuff, but i think you might be right. it could still end up as one of those cookie cutter letters..</p>

<p>I think you’re a very strong applicant good luck with ED</p>

6

<p>If I had to guess, I’d say you’re in - unless you significantly screw up your essays or some other part of your application. However, DO NOT take the predictions here for granted; I remember someone (an Asian male applicant. I think he was applying to the Hotel School or ILR, but I’m not certain) who had high grades/rank, good extracurriculars (only slightly below yours) and an over-2300 SAT who was outright REJECTED in the Early Decision round. That being said, don’t relax and sit on your laurels yet; just like all the other ED applicants, you’re never out of the woods until that “Congratulations!” pops up on the admissions screen/on the letter.</p>
