<p>pretty good chance, but as you probably already know with these schools its a crapshoot </p>

<p>I am applying for the LSM program too, but you have way better stuff than me (objective and subjective), so you have a really good shot at this. Out of curiosity, how did you get your patent?</p>

<p>It was through my research, which I did extensive time commitment on (4 years lol). </p>

<p>Also I have a supplemental LoR from my conductor of philadelphia sinfonia, not sure if it means much</p>
