Pretty good, especially if you apply Early Decision. They take about 50% of the class by Early Decision so it is a big benefit. Early Decision makes them look more selective than they are becaue they have to take about 1000 students or more to fill the other 240 spots they have. If you have need, they also have the most money at that point.

I think you would be very competitive for a Johnson Scholarship. You should look into it.
