<p>I know a lot of this is hypothetical and there's nothing outstanding :( I'm really counting on my essays and an interview. </p>

<p>I am planning on applying ED to CAS, CALS as my second choice. Major for CAS will probably classical studies or a foreign language, and for CALS, animal science.</p>

<p>Apply ED and you’re basically in. You should also consider other colleges, such as UPenn and Berkeley.</p>

<p>Good chances.
Can never say you’re in - Ivy League, blah blah.
As always, show your passion in your essays and that good chance rises closer and closer to a definite in.</p>

<p>“Apply ED and you’re basically in.”</p>

<p>No, she’s not “basically in.” </p>

<p>She has decent chances – being first generation will definitely help.</p>

<p>You have decent chances. Your low income, and being first generation definitely, work in your favor.</p>
