Am I Overly Optimistic with my chances?

Excellent! :slight_smile: Congratulations :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Did you apply to the Honors College (or did they invite you already)? Did you put down your deposit? Especially important to get “good” housing.
If possible, try to have honors housing (if in the honors college), otherwise, try to get a Living Learning Community - it helps in making close friends with common interests.
