Can I get in RD or would I need ED to have a chance?

Is Cornell your top choice? If so, you lose nothing and will definitely have an advantage doing ED! But I think you have great test scores and ECs so if you want to keep your options more open (and see everywhere you get in before committing), then go for RD.

I have Cornell and Duke narrowed down as my top choices and I am trying to decide which one I should ED to.

Long Island represent :slight_smile:

You have a good shot with RD at Cornell. But if it’s your first choice, you should definitely ED regardless.
