Because ‘Chance Me’ posts are so tough. It’s hard to come up with a realistic idea of admissions for anyone who is underneath the 75th percentile at a given school. Also, rating your essay as 9/10 doesn’t tell us anything… the quality of your essay is less important as elements of your personality that they might be looking for; these are factors we don’t know.

TBH SAT is a bit low bc the new sat is inflated. This is really just based on looking at average stats over the years. I’m applying ED too. Best of luck!
