<p>Well your basic stats are good, but I think your ECs are very math ‘oriented’. For an Asian, that’s not really a position to be in. You also only have 1 leadership position, though I’d think college like Cornell would be more fond of 5’s on your APs.</p>

<p>For engineering, a VERY self selecting college at Cornell, I’d say a mid-high reach for ya bud. Though I’d also try CMU (esp. ED I or II) or something if I were you as well.</p>

<p>would applying to CALS for BioEng change anything?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s a pretty hard major to get into firstly, and applying to a typical ‘Asian major’ (i.e. engineering or medicine related sciences) with your typical Asian math background… ehh…</p>
