I'm thinking about applying to CALS, but would I have a higher acceptance rate at CAS?

<p>It really depends on your minor interests. Biological Science as a major has identical curriculum in both colleges.</p>
<p>Faustarp: Yes, it is good to show that you are well-rounded, and yes, it is possible to be fully committed to more than one club. However, MANY college bound high school students purposely sign up for as many clubs and EC's as humanly possible only to go to perhaps one or two meetings. The reason?: to make it look to an admissions counselor that they are God's gift to the world. The truth is, an admissions counselor can easily see past this and label you as one of these kids, even if YOU aren't one of them. So, the lesson to be learned is, even if you are fully committed to every EC, putting all of them down looks like organized chaos and you are labeled as one of the non-committed kids that tries to join every club that is at the school.</p>
<p>mooseman976: I agree. Mind commenting on my list of ECs? Is it okay, or should I add more?</p>
<p>Sorry Shifu Yoda. I was on vacation for a while so I have been absent from CC. God forbid. But your ECs are very strong. They show your clear-cut passion for swimming and music, without making you look like a typical "try to do it all for the application" student. I would however recommend keeping the list of swimming and piano awards a little shorter. Only count the major ones, not the 4th place etc. They just bore the admissions counselor, while also making them see you as a bragger. Good luck though!</p>
<p>Apply to whichever school fits you! With your stats you could get into either. Sure higher SAT's would help, but I think you will be fine. They are not sad scores! I agree with some previous posters about extracurriculars, but more importantly on your essay. Especially if you apply to CALS. Take lots of time to write it and try to give it personality. I think you have excellent chances if you do that! Cheers!</p>
