Odds of getting into SMU with Early Decision
My brother is planning on applying to SMU early decision, but wanted to see if he actually has a shot.
2.9 UW GPA / 3.6 W GPA
Not submitting SAT because sub 1100 score
Sailed since a young age, while on attending many competitive regattas, and on the high school team
Has had a couple jobs - restaurant busboy and sailing coach helper
Lots of honors classes, but no AP (only AP Psych senior year and grades are not posted yet)
Applying from South Carolina (not sure if out of state is helpful or hurtful)
I saw that the acceptance rate for ED is much higher than regular decision so wanted to see if he actually has a chance given this.
Thank you

He has a good shot at getting in especially if essays are good, but getting into cox maybe trickier
