<p>Yes I would say you definitely have a chance. Now I’m not sure about the pattern of their “batches” admission process but it does seem like more non-compsci majors are getting in. No one knows any kind of pattern though. Just keep waiting and time will tell.</p>

<p>Fellow CS major here.</p>

<p>I think you have a high chance of getting in (considering I got in last Friday with mostly lower stats).</p>

<p>My stats if you want to compare:
