<p>Uh, anyone?</p>

<p>You are clearly qualified, but of course that's not the same as being guaranteed admission. Your chances are very good though</p>

<p>How can I improve my chances? Does it fall on the essay?</p>

5

<p>The things that you have the most control over would be the essay, interview, and general presentation of your application. Everything else is mostly set. Make sure you do a good job on the others, and it will help you. So yes, take the essay seriously, and do a good job with it.</p>

<p>Thank you. How do chances vary here ED vs. regular?</p>

<p>The percentage of admitted students is certainly much higher for ED, although it can be misleading becasue that tends to be a self-selecting, stronger pool.</p>
