<p>which college? omg the problem with everyone (not just you) who posts "chance" threads arent specifying this, so how can we give you a prediction? different colleges look for different things. you cant just apply to "cornell". it doesnt work that way</p>

<p>well said laurstar</p>

4

<p>srry most likely college of arts and sciences</p>

<p>wow.</p>

<p>you and i have very similar stats...=/</p>

<p>really, where r u planning on applying??</p>

<p>mmm....i'm thinking of ED to cornell or upenn or stanford, but the latter 2 schools are like, dream-DREAM schools...but yea, those 3 + university of washington, ucberkeley, carnegie mellon...all those schools w/pretty renowned business programs.</p>

<p>you?</p>

<p>I'm really considering applying to Cornell ED, i have made a visit and really enjoyed the experience. I hear applying ED significantly increases your chances of acceptance, is that true?</p>

9

<p>Well, i guess that depends.
ED tends to have appliers that are more of what you call, 'the best of the best'.
Admission-wise, yes, the % is higher, but i don't think it's going to be that much easier to get into..
and it also depends on which college from cornell you apply to.</p>
