<p>Looks good to me, I'd say you have pretty decent chances. Make sure you note how the bSoc major fits you, as the contract colleges are big on fit.</p>

<p>The essay will be very important. Since the major is offerened in CALS, CAS and HumEc, they will want to know why you wish to study Biology and Society in CALS instead of CAS or HumEc.</p>
