<p>I am a senior and I wanted to know if you guys think I'll get in where I am applying. I am a white female and I plan on majoring in electrical . I am applying to Cornell ED I and Carnegie Mellon EDII. Consider that 54% of females that apply to Cornell engineering are accepted, and even more ED.</p>

<p>SAT: 2110 (M:790, V:640, W: 680) (took again last Saturday, hoping it went up), but...
ACT: 34, which is equivalent to around a 1520 :) (breakdown: S:36, M: 34, E: 34, R: 32)
SAT II: Math IIc: 800, physics: 670
GPA: UW-3.6 W-4.3
classes: 11th grade: AP Physics B, AP Physics C, AP Calc AB, hon Eng, hon world history, principles of engineering, robotics
12th grade: AP Comparative Politics, AP Econ (Micro and Macro), AP Statistics, MV Equations, health/student aid, introduction to engineering design, hon english
school does not rank</p>

<p>ECs:
FIRST robotics- vice president, in charge of finances
youth group- international webchair, council webchair, held many board positions and chairs on chapter level, won scholarship to attend leadership summer program, attended 2 leadership summer programs, planned many programs and conventions
sailing- not much experience with racing, so not good enough to be on a varsity team
guitar- throughout high school but nothing special
I fix computers at my school during lunch- currently have over 300 hrs community service as a result
summer job at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) where I program and analyze robots for search and rescue missions
Currently conducting research at GWU on magnetic refrigeration, only 2 hrs/week though</p>

<p>Chances at:
ED I: Cornell
EDII:Carnegie Mellon University
Tufts University
Northwestern University
University of Michigan
Lehigh
Case Western Reserve
University of Rochester
Penn State University Park (applying to Schreyer Honors Program as well)
University of Illinois</p>

<p>you have a good chance at all of those... cornell ED engineering most likely in</p>

<p>thanks stonecold! i hope you're right! </p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

4

<p>Cornell ED: 50%, rest you're in.</p>

5

<p>i think you'll definitely get in all of them except cornell and northwestern, in which you have about 40-50% chance... and thats a good percentage cuz theyre tough schools! Good luck though</p>

6

<p>Can you do ED at cornell and also ED II at cmu? is that allowed? you can only do one ED right? </p>

<p>I say you have a pretty good shot at them all, your ec's are nice and very focused towards technology and engineering. So good luck!</p>

<p>chocolateluvr,</p>

<p>just wanted to say, chances aside, that's a really good, well researched list of schools. Although some of course are a lot harder than others to get in, all are top notch for science/engineering and you'd get a great technical education at any one of them. </p>

<p>I think chances are better than 50-50 for Cornell ED.</p>

<p>Looks good to me.</p>
