<p>Is Italian spoken at home? What was the SAT breakdown?</p>

<p>I think you should apply. You probably already know that the chances are pretty slim for most applicants, but you have a chance. Put together interesting essays, and if you can get good recs/etc. you could have a compelling application. You have to prove that you're an interesting person who would contribute meaningfully to the college.</p>

<p>there is no early decision (ED)--only single choice early action (SCEA). </p>

<p>good luck.</p>
