<p>Great EC’s
In all of them but Cornell. For Cornell go ED for sure and try to take SAT again.

<p>My parents won’t let me do ED for any school, so that is out of the question. I am considering taking the ACT, but my SAT tutor thinks I am maxed out with my SAT scores, the only thing I could do is try and hit 7 in all three in one shot. However, I am sending all my scores so they will see all three test sittings. </p>

4

<p>Is there any reason that ED is not allowed? If it is financial reasons then run NPC because Cornell gives a whole lot of need based aid money. </p>

5

<p>It is money based, but not in affordability. My parents have told me if I get in they will find a way to pay. However, I want to become a vet which means 7-8 years of school, and actual vet school is tough to get any scholarship/grant money for. So while getting into Cornell would absolutely amazing, I am not sure if I would go since it would be tapping most of my college savings if not all of it. If I went to any of my other schools I would have a good chunk of money left for vet school. Plus K-State has a 7 year (but I would make it 8 with a gap year to gain residency) vet program where if I got in my vet school spot would be saved. </p>

<p>I guess it is a personal decision but it has its roots in finance</p>

7

<p>If finances are an issue, consider going to Cornell’s vet school later on and going to a different undergrad. I think in the meantime you should still apply to Cornell undergrad, but assess the situation later on when you see what your options are for undergrad. </p>

8

<p>That would be the plan. It is still a very strong option (pretty much my top choice), just too many question marks I need to personally answer for me to apply ED without seeing how much I could potentially get in grants. </p>

9

<p>If finances are an issue, I agree with you and wouldn’t apply ED. Apply RD, see how much aid you get, and continue from there.</p>
