I was asked to submit a transcript and a school profile just today and was wondering if this was a good or bad sign for my application?

It means they are reviewing your application and so hopefully you should hear something sooner than later. No holistic review. They need all the DATA. Decisions are data driven.

any chance he also has an app into Ox or Bridge?!

No interest. Wants four years and wants to enjoy every minute!!! Will probably consider those for Grad school. This is the boy that heads the Meat Club at his boarding school and currently has a pig waiting for pick up at shipping. OxBridge too intense from the get-go.

If you feel comfortable sharing your stats, I’d be interested. My son may apply for Marine Bio. I’ve suggested he work some more on his essay to meet expectations for a UK Personal Statement. Is St. A’s a #1 choice? Have you visited?

this is where I posted about my stats - it is my top 2 right now and I think I will visit soon
