I think you'll get in ED> look at the statistics. I'm going there for 2013, applied regular decision and it seems ED is alot easier to get in.

bump w/ SAT II scores + nervousness

Took SAT IIs:

Math2: 640
Latin: 590

how badly are these scores going to hurt me? I will be re-taking the Math2 and taking the Lit SAT II as well as taking the ACT in the fall.

Also, GPA is now a 3.73
