<p>for ED, you have a pretty good (great) chance for dyson. for just CALS, you should be in with ED. make sure you stress your leadership potential and why you think business is for you.</p>
<p>I did stress the business in essays. Was not that hard to do given all my EC’s in business (I am completed lopsided). Tied the CALS to Dyson through how farming, agriculture and biosciences are becoming so important in the business community. </p>
<p>Does CALS take into account my first marking period grades. They should be all A’s with 3 AP’s (marking period ends this week and I should have the official grades sometimes next week). Or do you think they would have already made their decision by next week and it’s too late.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>i don’t know the exact timeline for admission decisions, but if they are all A’s, it can only help. they may have a sense of their decisions by now, and the mid-semester grades may help them make the decisions for students who are “maybes.” again, i don’t know the answer to this. i’m not sure if this means you have already applied ED or are applying ED in the future, but best of luck to you.</p>
<p>I’ll say 50/50. Good luck!</p>
