Is only very hard to get into ED? I was thinking it might make more sense to apply to artsci and transfer. I really want to go to Olin but I would rather be accepted to artsci than deffered/ rejected @ Olin. I am afraid it will be much more selective ED since it is so much smaller than artsci.
My stats are–
GPA:
junior year: Probably a 3.8 on a 4.0 scale. (I have a 5.2 on a 6.0 scale)
precalculus 5 Spanish 4H 5.0 Economics honors 5.5 English 3 5.0 AP US: 4.5 Graphic Design Portfolio: 6.0
class rank:
unavailable but I attend a difficult private school.
Senior classes: AP Microecon, Calculus, AP Spanish Lang & Culture, AP English Lang, Biomechanics, AP studio art (graphic design)– should I submit portfolio with app?
