I have similar stats except my SAT Subject test scores are garbage and I’m thinking about applying ED here too, so I will be bumping thisss…

A lot of people in the results thread seem to have mostly 3.9+'s. Supposedly ILR has gotten a lot harder to get into lately.

Yeah, this is the highest reach on my list for sure. I’m expecting to get rejected tbh but who knows there’s always that .0001% chance

I’m not currently in ILR, but some of the people I know have similar stats and experiences as you, so you have a good shot
