Any cost concerns?

Sure - you have a chance.

But if you’re NMSF (and likely NMF), you can also go for free to other schools.

So you might discuss with your parents before EDing.

Best of luck.

The ED deadline was yesterday. I would assume this is a non-issue here.

yea I already submitted, was just scoping out to see what my chances were.

I was replying to the other poster who asked if you had any financial concerns. You have a very strong profile and are competitive for Cornell and any other schools you apply to. But I’m sure you know that the acceptance rates are low so make sure to have a good mix of reach, target and safety schools. Good luck to you!

One can change ED.

I’m sure any NMSF knows the offerings out there - but you never know - not everyone does.

Good luck to OP.
