<p>I think you look like a very strong applicant. Your GPA is the same as my son and your SAT and AP scores are higher. My bet says you’ll get in. </p>

<p>Be sure to do an interview. They’re important. Also, consider if you’d like to play in the Wake marching band. I was surprised by how much it recruited incoming freshman. (But that was after acceptance, not before.)</p>

<p>I’d say you have a good shot even if you apply regular decision</p>

<p>Your grades, EC and scores are excellent, so I think you have a very good shot. And seeing as how they’re trying to recruit Asians, all the better.</p>
