Hi,
I’m a review admit for Mays as well. You have pretty good stats, but I know that being a review admit for Mays is extremely competitive. I’ve heard that some years, they don’t even leave spots for them (I don’t think that this is the case this year though). Do you have any extracurriculars or anything in your app that makes you stand out? That’s really the key with being a review app…you need something that makes you unique. Anyways, here are my stats (we’re pretty similar, so let me know if you hear back anytime soon, whether good or bad)! Also, don’t worry at all about when you applied, as it has no significance on review applicants…I spoke with admissions a couple weeks ago and a woman informed me of this.
