SAT 2180 (CR:630---I know it is bad;math:800;writing:750) Will retake in Oct, aiming at 2300+</p>

<p>I am now an Chinese applicant in China mainland.</p>

<p>EC: published article in a scientific magzine as the leading author (English);
Several national/provincial first prizes and gold metals in english competitions;
National Model United Nations Best Style award;

President of Youth Volunteering club;
Many local volunteering works in the city.</p>

<p>Somebody give me an advice:which one should I apply ED---Cornell or Duke (It is likely that Cornell has a crush on Chinese applicants.)</p>

<p>I really want to know more about these two schools, and I know that their own websites might not provide me with sufficient. I love to have some details.</p>

<p>Also, I want to know if I have a chance on Uchicago.</p>

<p>THX!!~</p>

<p>I’d apply ED to whatever one you like the best, but while they are both pretty high ED rates I think Duke has more athletes apply ED, so they are really about the same. I would definitely visit the school before I applied ED though. But if you like Cornell, apply there</p>

3

<p>I am thinking about majoring in Engineering. Is Cornell a better choice?</p>

4

<p>they are both great but I’d give the edge to Cornell</p>

5

<p>I think as a Chinese national you’d probably fit in better at Cornell. Duke is making strides in diversity but there’s still a lot of southerners and I’m just not sure how much you’d like it there.</p>

<p>I agree with the post above. Duke just seems almost “too American” for you too feel comfortable, but I could be wrong. </p>

<p>Chance me back please!

<p>i agree with the above, cornell seems like a better fit for you. having visited duke, it definitely still has some southern roots, which turns some people off. if you apply there ED you will have a great shot, and you have decent chances at duke and uchicago. i would add a few safety schools to the mix if you want to go to school in the US (just in case), otherwise you’re good to go. good luck! :)</p>

<p>how about you go to college in china…</p>

9

<p>Well, it turns out that I quite like the American Universities, and I have spent lots of time preparing for all kinds of exams. It might not be a good choice for me to change my ideas now.</p>

<p>It looks like you have a great chance for University of Chicago; however, I have heard stories of people with 4.0 gpas, 2200 SATs get rejected, so it may be best for you to apply ED just in case.</p>
