<p>the scores are there. ec's show a passion...music? but for huntsman, id really say your essays count a whole lot more cause they really differentiate on that. especially for huntsman and m&t. otherwise, there is really is no way to separate 2300+ SAT I and SAT II students.</p>

<p>id say defer for huntsman only because, from what ive seen and heard, they want to get a bigger picture of the whole applicant pool before they make such a selection...</p>

<p>id say Yale EA is relatively good chance, although it is extremely competitive. what would you be studying there?</p>
