<p>I applied Regular but I’m thinking of switching to Early Decision II, do you think I should? My main concern is the amount of financial aid package I would receive and the overall cost of tuition.</p>

<p>I had very similar stats and was accepted for ED I (28 ACT, 3.63 W GPA)</p>

<p>Ah that just boosted my confidence level.</p>
