<p>One of my friends got into Cornell engineering with similar stats (lower class rank, and 20 lower on writing portion of SAT, but better AP scores). But that was also ED, so it might play out differently for you. I don’t know much about colleges, but the one advice I’d received from people around me was that places with separate engineering schools (Northwestern, Cornell, Columbia, etc) generally place less weight on EC’s, etc (which seems to be a weak point for both you and me) and more on SATs/GPA (that is, academic record, which you seem to be strong in). </p>
<p>Where did you do your ED at, if at all?</p>
<p>And if you could impart any wisdom in regards to my application, I’d greatly appreciate it!</p>
<p>Yeah…ECs are a little shaky but you’ve got a good GPA and ACT score. For all but Stanford you aren’t a solid candidate but you have a shot. I wouldn’t count too much on Stanford.</p>
<p>If you can get an interview at any of those schools, you should definitely go for it.</p>
