chance for CAS and CoE
I want to go into BME, do you think i have a better shot CAS or CoE, because then again im not POSITIVE i want to be an engineer</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>CAS: 45%
CoE: 45%</p>

<p>(Yes, I realize normally CAS should be lower, but your AP scores don’t indicate enough math excellence to me)</p>

<p>Ultimately I see you as the average competitive candidate.</p>

<p>Your statistics certainly are in the range for both schools.</p>

<p>I would think that your chaces of CoE are significantly higher thatn CAS. Cornell appears to be making an effort to recruit QUALIFIED female engineers. In fact the admissions rate is about twice as high for female engineers than it is for males.</p>

<p>2010 Female Admission Percentage – 35%, 2010 Male Admission Percentage 17%</p>

<p>Also, the 2010 Female Admission Percentage for Engineering is more than twice as high as the Female Engineering Percentage in CAS (15%)</p>

<p>With respect to the engineering school, this pattern appears to have existed for at least 20 years.</p>

<p><a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000147.pdf[/url]”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000147.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I would be less concerned about your math AP scores than the prior poster, for the simple reason, that I don’t think you even send the official scores into Cornell (My D didn’t last year), so I don’t see how they can be a major consideration.</p>

<p>I am also reticent to apply any % chance, as I don’t have the data to back it up. However, if any one actually does have this data, I’d love to see it, it would sure make it easier to respond to ‘chance me’ threads.</p>

<p>Bottom Line – CAS - Good chance, your profile is competitive. CoE, Excellent Chance.</p>

<p>Not sure you want to be an engineer. This isn’t completely uncommon. At an info session for admitted students last year, I think they said that about 10% of the class transfers out of engineering to another school. So if you have made a mistake, all is not lost.</p>

<p>However, it is better still to decide whether you think you want to be an engineer. If you don’t, you shouldn’t apply to CoE regardless of your relative shot at admissions.</p>

<p>^Agreed with the above poster. If you are applying CoE as Regular Decision then I’d chance you at like 60% (because you’re female). If you apply ED to CoE then I’d say you’re in. Btw I notice you didn’t post your Math II/Science subject test scores-that’s important to know as well for engineering.</p>

<p>Hey! </p>

<p>You’re SAT score is above average for Cornell, just enough for impressive, then again you score 170 points away from perfect, OF COURSE THATS IMPRESSIVE! :smiley: pat on the back for that!</p>

<p>GPA is a 95: pretty awesome for someone taking all those APs. Another pat on the back. Your ranking is very important, though. </p>

<p>Your awards: Excellent, I cant just say how awesome they are. ANOTHER PAT ON THE BACK.</p>

<p>AP Scores:Not a single 3 all 4s and 5s what colleges like to see. BUt watch out, some colleges (cornell) only accept a 5 if you wanna get a credit or something like that. Nice jobs with all those scores! Two pats on back! :p</p>

<p>Also, it is really good that you are taking all APs senior year, it shows you are still challenging yourself :slight_smile:
Your Ecs:
Vice president of community service club will look great!
treasurer of culture club,
president of spanish club,
vice president of astronomy club
participant- debate team and science olympiad team
nhs
columbia science honors program ARE ALL IMPRESSIVE :D</p>

<p>Decent hours of community service nice! btw dont worry about your shcool. my uncle went to stvyuesant (sp?) in manhattan, and his ranking was 200 out of 600, and he was accepted into 3 ivies. </p>

<p>You have an excellent chance of getting in. :slight_smile: Good luck!</p>

<p>Demaesthetics, I see that you like to put people down by suggesting Phoenix and Devry to everyone. What is your problem with people with 2200 sat’s? Did you get a 2400 on your SAT or something? Were you an all-state athlete, a world class musician, and a nobel prize winner in high school? </p>

<p>On another note, I think that your EC’s look good. I know people with only slightly higher SATs and WORSE Ec’s than you who have been accepted to Stanford. The fact that you are a female, in my opinion, makes it a very real possibility that you get into Cornell.</p>

7

<p>Furthermore Demaesthetics, because I just can’t get over how ridiculous your response to this girl is, what joy do you get out of coming to a college admissions forum full of anxiety-ridden applicants with good stats and telling them all that they have no chance to go to a decent university and they should go to a community college? My theory is that you, my friend, are a ■■■■■. She OBVIOUSLY has a good chance of getting into Cornell. Please do me, and the rest of the CC community, a favor and get off of this site. You run the risk of pushing a nervous wreck of a student, not suggesting that you are one OP, over the edge and hurting their perhaps already battered self-esteem because of the fact that they are not #1 in their class. I, for one, am not afraid to tell you what a buffoon you are.
OP, once you get into Cornell, please post back on this site, for further confirmation of this ■■■■■’s ridiculousness.</p>

<li>I will not even respond to your attempts to slander me.</li>

<p>…sarcasm alert</p>

<p>You have a very good chance of getting in, particularly being a female with strong, solid academics for College of Engineering. However, don’t grow complacent, you could just as easily get rejected. Cornell is an ivy and crapshoot after all.</p>
