<p>boooooooooomp</p>

<p>CS is in both Engineering and Arts & Sciences. And RD engineering to Cornell is very difficult; you’re competing with all of the MIT/Stanford turnovers. I would say you have a very very very good chance ED but only a good chance RD.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>You read that my UW is a 3.65? and that my CS/MATH gpa is a 3.86? Do you know anyway I can communicate this with Cornell?</p>

<p>You can find the admissions officer specific to your area: <a href=“http://admissions.cornell.edu/contact/contact-admissions-representative[/url]”>http://admissions.cornell.edu/contact/contact-admissions-representative&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>And with your GPA, a lot of other things matter-how competitive is your high school, how you are in relation to other students, etc. Yeah, it seems a little low but I would say everything else makes up for it.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info!
I would ED but my parents want me to keep my options open :(</p>

<p>Well, you should ED atleast somewhere. It’s one of the easiest ways to increase your chances of getting in.</p>
