umiami is down to accepting only 19% of applicants.
with your stats, it’s a fair 50/50 odds. you’re what they’re looking for, but college admissions is unpredictable after all.
since you applied ed, i’d guess a 60/40 chance at acceptance. remember they look for massive demonstrated interest, so if a deferral comes your way, accept your spot in ed2 or rd asap

Has anyone heard whether ED1 notifications may come out this Friday, December 9th? An admissions rep who did a session at our high school a few months back had said to expect late December notifications because of the volume of applications but I see that in the past few years it’s been the second Friday in December.
Thanks!
