<p>i know that it is well beyond the due date for applying priority. does anyone know how difficult it will be to be accepted in general ?</p>
<p>The priority deadline was also the deadline for any merit aid and for any living learning program, so it will be very very difficult.</p>
<p>It depends on your stats.</p>
<p>If you’re borderline for an average MD admit, it’s unlikely you’ll be accepted to the school.</p>
<p>If you’re borderline for honors, then it’s unlikely you’ll be accepted to the program.</p>
<p>If MD is a super safety/safety for you, of course you would still be admitted into the school.</p>
<p>If you are way above an avg. honors students, then of course you’d still be accepted into honors.</p>
<p>My friend applied after the priority deadline and was WAY overqualified for MD and honors. She was accepted to MD easily, and with a small amount of merit aid (likely she would have gotten more had she applied earlier, though). She was NOT invited to gemstone/honors humanities, though she did get into the regular honors program, despite definitely having the stats to get in to everything, and I assume this was because she applied late. To give you an idea of her stats: 2200± SAT, near perfect grades, 40 AP credits, great ECs, URM.</p>
<p>I assume she would have gotten a full ride and then some had she applied earlier, and of course she would have been invited into Gemstone/honors humanities. So, it matters a LOT if you are borderline/looking for the most merit aid possible, but if your only concern is getting into the school generally/getting into honors, then you still have a decent shot if you’re an above average performer.</p>
<p>Hopefully you have already applied as I assume the earlier, the better. She applied around early December.</p>
