<p>Spend your energies working on a great and compelling application. There are alot of Long Island kids with similar stats (my d included who is now a senior at Cornell) who you are competing with. Your chances are as good as anyone else-<br>
ED helps but not a sure thing.</p>

<p>On the positive side, I know a number of kids who applied ED and were deferred- but they were accepted in the RD round. So I really think Cornell does take the time to review the deferred ED candidates and gives them a 2nd chance for admission. Good Luck!</p>
