<p>You seem to be an excellent candidate, but international applicants are more difficult to predict. One thing I would caution you on is focussing on just one school. </p>

<p>Before applying ED to any school, i would recommend that you visit some others and think about what schools you would like to apply to if you are not accepted. At the level of college you are considering, there is always a chance that you may be rejected and it is good to have other plans in place.</p>
