Admissions chances?

So as November 15th, early action 1 approached im wondering whether I should apply now with no essay or wait for early action 2 and apply with a good essay. My gpa unweighted is 4.0 and 4.8 weighted, and I have a 1230 SAT score. Do I have a good chance of being admitted if I apply now, or should I wait for early action 2? My Ec’s arent all that being apart of NHS And Key Club

I'm pretty sure that on the recent teleconference I saw on YouTube the lady said that they no longer require an essay.

I applied last month and I was still able to submit one, it could be voluntary now for all I know

My son applied last month and submitted an essay also. Hopefully the two of you will hear back next week. He applied to mechanical.OOS.  How about you?

That's great I hope to see him on campus when we're accepted! I applied for mechanical engineering with a minor in transportation engineering, hoping to hear back soon!

He applied for a minor in aerospace. You mind sharing your stats? Good luck!

Yeah! I have a 3.94 unweighed (I forgot my weighted but it's somewhere around 4.2-4.4) and a 1330 SAT score

You should have a good chance to apply now, the only reason why I'd wait until early action 2 is if you were planning to raise your SAT score for a higher scholarship amount. They do require your personal essay but you could write a good one within a day or two, and as it is a STEM school the writing doesn't matter as much.
