<p>My parents don't understand the competitiveness of modern academics, and think I'm guaranteed to get in anywhere I apply. They're basically begging me to apply to Yale EA, but I really don't think I have a shot. I'm more partial to Cornell ED myself, but that's more because I think I have a good shot of getting in there and I'll be happy there. However, they seem to think that Cornell is an awful school in comparison to HYPS.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm sure you guys get billions of these chances threads, but here's another one. CC, can you be brutally honest and try and give me a percentage of getting in EA? I want to major in biomedical engineering, if it makes a difference. Please forgive any ignorance on my part.</p>
