Looks really promising to me, I don't know if NYC will help any but I think you have a good chance either way. Keep up the good work and you'll have a really good chance of getting in especially with all those interesting ECs.

Yes, you can get in. Simply walk through the main gate. If you need directions I can give them to you.

To answer your second question, living in NYC will help you get in since you can probably get there in less than five minutes via foot or the subway.

I appreciate your sense of humor. To answer your third question, I would say it could go either way - it's too close to call. Just wait and find out, my friend. I'm avoiding optimism, because if you convince yourself of the worst, you a.) will be that much more excited when you get in, or b.) will be somewhat prepared if you don't. Good luck.
