Based on your stats and ECs I would say you have a very good chance. Obviously Dyson as the most selective undergraduate business program with a 3% acceptance rate isn’t a lock for anyone. Far from it. However, your profile definitely looks to be a good fit for the kind of students that Dyson is looking to accept. The other key will be your essays. Assuming you wrote a convincing “why” Dyson you have a good chance. I would suspect if you don’t get accepted you will likely be offered a Guaranteed Transfer Option offer.
Hi @spemmar1 hope you got in to Dyson? appreciate feedback since my son applying for 2019 - similar background as yours academically but different ECs - more of varsity sports etc. Did you get any scholarship etc. etc. - Thank you and will pay it forward for the next year students after we apply for 2019 admissions.
Hi CCPSHS - wanted to write to you but replied to other person. my son has a similar background as yours academically but ECs are different. Would appreciate your status. hope you got in! Please give us whatever details you can share -including scholarships etc. Will pay it forward after going through admissions in 2019. Thx.
