<p>If you are applying Early Decision, the only reason I would think you might not get in is because you are Chinese. ( Sorry someone had to say it :P)</p>

<p>This is just because it is so competitive for Asians ( Like myself) to get in, although you have a very good chance because of your stats and your EC’s. I would say it is a Match.</p>
