Jeff,
First of all, take a deep breath. With your SAT score and demonstrated interest, I wouldn’t be surprised if you got the expdited application. I have a feeling they really like people who show interest. I mean, I was half an hour late to my interview (traffic / weather issues) but had a pretty good interview otherwise, and showed some other avenues of interest and was admitted. My grades are near yours, and your SAT score is definately much higher than mine, plus your EC’s are much more involved than mine were. I’d say you’ve got a good chance, even with RD. Then again, this is college admissions we’re talking about, so who knows?

If it’s your top school, consider applying ED just in case, unless there are financial issues or something…

Good luck ! (Not that you need it)

It’s a great school; if I hadn’t changed my mind on what field I wanted to go into, I’d totally be going here next year.
