<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm not sitting my ACT and 2 SAT 2's until april and october respectively and I'm going to be apply for 2013 (Class of 2017).</p>
<p>I am scottish and have been living there all my life, I just wanted to clear a few things up:</p>
<p>1) I've heard a rumour that early decision increases chances of admission
2) As a woman ,I'm a minority(somebody said that it increases admission chance)
3) I come from a family earning under £37,000($60,000) does this help my case as supposedly I'm poor( and I feel it)
4) I'm international so am I put up against other internationals
5) My parents didn't go to college( a friend says this increases my chances)</p>
<p>And finally: I did 5 years of tap and jazz along with 10yrs of highland dance which I compete in and have won around about 60ish and have taken part in the scottish championships. I have heard places are needed for dancers but I'm in doubt with this.</p>
<p>I have some extra's too</p>
<p>Thanks for the help</p>
