<p>Hey CC, do you think I should submit by the priority application deadline or wait for my senior grades? My senior grades are going to be much higher than than my current cumulative GPA, which will help the strenght of my application. However I know that applying before Nov 1 also increases your admit chances. Which do you think will help more? </p>
<p>Priority application, no question. </p>
<p>One semester’s grades redistributed over the previous 3 years isn’t going to raise your overall GPA that appreciably. Once you are above a threshold GPA, another 0.02 isn’t going to make a big difference. </p>
<p>Priority application, on the other hand, could double your chances.</p>
<p>Submit tonight. No question. </p>
<p>Yeah, I thought so, but my conselor said wait since I will be passing a threshold to 3.0 most likely. thoughts?</p>
<p>I read somewhere that 70-85% of their class is determined by those in the priority pool so definitely apply tonight, the worst case is that you are deferred to rd. </p>
<p>You can always call with updated information after the fact. I hope you submitted. most of the class is picked from the early applicants. </p>
<p>Yes, I submitted on the 31st. Thank you all for your help!</p>
