<p>Chance me for Cornell Engineering(rejected as a freshmen) and Arts and Science, Vanderbilt, columbia, Notredame, Upenn what other colleges do u thing is a good match...</p>

<p>I was waitlisted at Carleton, do u think I have shot if i apply as a transfer there??</p>

2

<p>also, do u think applying as a physics major would be beneficial to get into these schools or should I go with engineering. At this point im unsure about which path i want to take between these two disciplines</p>

<p>Engineering is easier to get into than any of the arts and science schools(physics)</p>

<p>Honestly I think you have a really good shot at every one of these schools, however admissions is pretty much a crapshoot, especially at the ivies, so you never know. Just be sure to write a kick ass essay and obtain some stellar recs and you should be good to go.</p>

<p>On that note chance me… :)</p>

<p>I think the only thing that does not help you score a good school is your high school record. but since youve done pretty good in college , i think the college will look into that. As you said with the ivies its never sure. I really dont know about public school acceptances. i think goergetown columbia Upenn might be somewhat of a strech but definitely not impossible. But then again im just a freshmen i really dont have much knowledge in chancing anyone…</p>

<p>Bump… anyone else??</p>

<p>cornell engineering is harder to get into than CAS and you can’t apply to both. if you applied to CAS, what would your major be?</p>

<p>also, you have solid stats, so apply anywhere you want, but it really will come down to your essays</p>

8

<p>If i had to apply to CAS i’d take a physics major if possible a double major along with math…</p>

9

<p>I don’t see why u didn’t get into any of these places as a freshman</p>

10

<p>I still wonder why… I asked for a lot of aid i guess…and the bad economy that year didn’t help me either</p>
