<p>You look like your well in the mix to me. Be sure you try to interview (as much if not more for the purpose of showing the strength of your interest in the school).</p>

<p>I agree with bw’s post. If you can visit the campus, sit in on an info session, and take the tour, I’d strongly recommend you do it. You can ask for an alumni interview if you don’t want to interview on campus.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
