I am in CAS, not CGS, but some of my friends had about the same stuff as you. The killer is going to be the SAT. Yes, it is technically easier than the other colleges so don’t panic if the scores aren’t perfect, but definitely try to get them up a little more. Also, based on your circumstances, I don’t know if you are looking for financial aid but you definitely want to consider this as your family income might decrease what you might get.
Applying direct to CGS and saying you like the program are big plusses. Also show interest, lots of interest and make an appointment to learn more about CGS, You sound a lot like my Daughter undecided like the smaller class size ( and I did too big colleges scared me for her) She is in her second year and loves it
