<p>I am very interested in the biology and society major and love the concentrations on nutrition and public health offered in the college of human ecology. Do I have a good chance of admissions (I am a legacy too), and would it be a good idea to use the alternate college choice on the application for CALS? Here are my stats, and any opinions are very welcome! </p>
