<p>I really doubt they'll care much about the egg drop contest :x. However, no one can really say your chances for sure. Stat wise(Scores+Grades) you're above most applicants, and I'd say you have decent chance if your essays are really nice.</p>

<p>you have a really good chance...</p>

5

<p>how do you have a 4.1 UW? Is it on a 5.0 scale or something?</p>

6

<p>I messed up the UW GPA; it's really a 4.0.</p>

<p>Any other responses? I'm kind of nervous because I hear that engineering is tough to get into, and I don't have many science-related ECs.</p>
