<p>Hi guys, first time posting on CC.
I have finalized every application material for the Civil Engineering at the College of Engineering. However I don't know should I apply through Early Decision or HEOP through regular admission. I learned that ED is highly competitive but can allow me reveal commitment and loyalty.</p>

<p>Cornell engineering is filled with brainiac applicants making it really hard to get in. Your GPA and SAT might be a bit on the lower end but that low scores dont count anybody out. I think with a brilliant essay it would be very possible – I noticed your 2014 summer manhattan college summer program for women high school students thing, if your a female applying to college of engineering you are already at a slight head up. Also, your EC’s dont show anything from freshmen year(probably because you just emigrated or such) which might be worth noting somewhere in the app. </p>

<p>Good luck! </p>

<p>Thank you so much! I don’t have any EC from freshmen year because I just emigrated. I am male but the Manhattan College program took me because I am minority. Do you guys knoe anything about admission through HEOP?</p>
