<p>Based on overall feel and basically nothing more, I would have said Midd was a bit of a reach for you. However, I noticed that you’re a URM and I think that should help a fair amount. Midd has been getting a lot more URM applications in recent years so it might not help as much as it would have in years past, but I think you probably stand a pretty good chance. </p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance RD. If you apply ED, I’d say you have an excellent chance.</p>
