<p>I’d say you’re in there with the slew of people. I was accepted with a 4.0 / 31 ACT and similar EC’s (maybe a bit more).</p>

<p>I had a friend deferred who has a 3.1 / 25 and no EC’s other than Debate and Football</p>

<p>Another of my friends got denied and he is the most involved person at my school, 4.0, 33 ACT, etc. </p>

<p>We all applied EA, so … that shows how crazy admissions can be</p>
