<p>Hey guys...here's my background. so I applied ED to NYU's CAS as an english major. im pretty much anticipating my rejection letter any day now. it's going to be completely devestating for me, so i really need to find a plan of action for my next round of applications. My dilemma is that i was planning to apply to Lafayette's rolling early decision, but my problem is that i want to try my luck at Mcgill (idk, love the city campuses i guess.)</p>
<p>so 1. can you guys chance me for colgate, mcgill, lafayette, lehigh, syracuse (all as an english major)
2. should i continue my plan of action and apply early to lafayette? or give it a shot at some regular decision ones i like better. i liked lafayette fine, but unless it drastically went above and beyond my expectations, i could definitely see myself transfering to NYU.</p>
<p>**IMPORTANT: before reading, consider the fact that i had severe depression freshman and sophomore years. this is explained on all my apps. also i feel like mcgill might give me a shot because they actual ask about issues that may have affected your grades, where as other schools you just need to provide it and who knows if theyll care.</p>
