<p>i think u should consider re-giving the sats. just in case. the quality of the ED applicant pool is itself stellar in every aspect as u might have seen here in this forum. ur EC's are gr8. still it'll be worth giving the sats again. i applied ED and my decision's out in two days. god i'm freaking out. i got a 1380 (math:760, verbal: 620). and my SAT2's (Writing: 780, Math2c: 740, biology mol. 750). i still think i'm not getting in. my EC's are mediocre at best. not like urs. i hate to be so discouraging but it is wise to regive the SATs. best of luck.</p>
