<p>Bump? No? ):</p>

<p>Good chances. I think you’ll get in, personally, as I’ve heard compsci/cogsci is one of the less competitive dual-degrees due to how new it is. Also, I’ve heard that dual-degrees tend to be easier during the ED round since the most competitive applicants typically apply SCEA to HYPSM.</p>
