<p>Also, statistically, how much would it help me to apply ED?</p>

<p>ED? ed deadline has passed a looong time ago…
If you are trying to apply right now to COE, I think that there is a good chance that you will get rejected.
Why?
Well, u didn’t take a science SAT 2 test.
Your ecs are impressive, but I’m not sure if it’s going to make up for missing standardized test scores…
If u apply next year, yes u will probably get in</p>

<p>Yeah, ED passed a while back. Your chances are still good though, assuming all those AP scores are 4 - 5 (you didn’t say the scores :|). Your EC’s are pretty solid as well, and I assume that your essays must have been decent as well. the only thing that is missing is the science SAT II. From what I remember, thats a requirement for Cornell Engineering.</p>

<p>your the first indian I’ve ever heard of that didn’t apply to financial aid though :P</p>

<p>I think the OP will be applying next year. If not, then he is CONFUSED!!
Pretty good stats ~ good chance at Cornell. And he does need a physics/chemistry SAT II.</p>

<p>@fida10 … the " :stuck_out_tongue: " smiley clearly doesn’t work on CC … But I really hope it does in the future!! :)</p>
