<p>Thanks for your input - bump</p>

<p>My stats are somewhat similar to yours and I'm applying WUSTL ED as well. </p>

<p>However, I think you have a better chance due to rank working in your favor and that work experience. Also, your ECs look strong. As the person above me stated, the only questionable one is MIT, which is a reach...but you will probably get in everywhere else.</p>
