<p>What have you done to show interest? Because at this point, I’m pretty sure that the only reason they would reject is that you’ve shown no interest, and they don’t think you will attend if accepted. Either way, I’d be shocked if you aren’t accepted, although we do know what a crapshoot admissions can be at times. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Well that’s always nice to hear! I feel like a shown a good amount of interest since I’ve attended the information sessions they’ve had in my area, talked to the representative they’ve sent to my school twice (both times were very small meetings, 5 and 2 people) and I visited campus in the summer</p>

<p>Well, once again, no promises, but I’d say you have as good a chance as any applicant out there.</p>
