Your stats are about average and the admissions rate is around 30%. It’s definitely worth an application if you can afford to go there, but don’t come in with any earth-shattering expectations :slight_smile: Just keep a good strong list of affordable match and safety schools that you’re serious about.

I would say you have a solid chance at ED. You have some time-consuming EC’s which I think the admissions people will take into account. IF your essays and letters of rec are good then I predict you will be a Terrier.
But don’t be cocky and get those safeties lined up…
