<p>cayuga are you a current student or did you graduate in 2005?</p>

5

<p>I'm a young alum.</p>

6

<p>any other opinions??</p>

7

<p>I think you're almost a lock. Legacy, ED, 1490, top 5%, new york resident (helps I think for CALS), Good ECs.</p>

8

<p>anyone else??</p>

9

<p>Very solid.
Why are you even worried?
Even if you had a 1390 SAT out of 1600 and less impressive ECs, with a double legacy and a brother there, you'll get in.</p>

10
