<p>Awesome stats! It’s really all about the essays though (once your stats are past a certain point), especially for those dual degree programs. Case in point: I know a guy with a 33 ACT and 2150 SAT w/o any research or science ECs that was accepted into M&T RD. Why? His M&T essay and recs were phenomenal. On the flip side, I know a guy with a 2400 SAT and like 8 5’s on his AP tests that was rejected ED to M&T because he didn’t take the essay seriously enough.</p>
