<p>so i'm considering both Human Ecology as well as CALS (i'm a NYS resident) and was told that my chances would increase if i would just apply to one school rather than two..is this true?</p>
<p>This is not true at all. The colleges consider your application completely independently. What is true, however, is that unless you’re an out-this-world fit for the second college, the chances of getting accepted to your second choice are slim if you were rejected to your first choice.</p>
