Do I have chances at some/any top 20?
Thanks

Yes, you do. Mexican URM with your numbers should be fine. You'll take a minor hit for being in late but not much. Good luck.BlankC wrote:169/3.43 Applied Jan. 31 to pretty much everything except Duke (applied early Jan).

ETA: I think you are in at multiple T14s.

Thanks, I feel better. I didn't realize when I started my apps that 'deadline' did not mean that you'd be okay as long as you applied before it passed.jks289 wrote:Yes, you do.

Re: 169/3.43 Applied Jan. 31
That is exactly what deadline means. People are crazy on this site, so it feels like you are really late. In reality half of a school's applications arrive on the last day. For a borderline candidate, being in early might make the difference. But you are solid most places, so it isn't going to make a difference. The only school it seems like it might matter is Berkeley, just because they make a big deal about it. But who knows.BlankC wrote:Thanks, I feel better.
