<p>Hey everybody, I'm just trying to get an idea of my chances in applying to Cornell regular decision.
I'm going to apply to the College of Engineering though I am caught between electrical and computer engineering, or computer science. </p>
<p>White male from a Central New Jersey public school
GPA: Unweighted - 3.9 Weighted - 4.6
Classes: All H and AP except for history. I'm taking multivariable calculus (Calc III), engineering design, physics AP, computer science independent study, and digital electronics this year as the courses that mainly pertain to my major choice.
SAT: 2120 (780 M, 680 CR, 660 W) Retaking in November
SATII: 800 Math IIC, 750 Physics
National Honor Society
Medals in National Latin Exam since frosh year
Silver medal in NJ Chem Olympics for chemical engineering
High honor roll every year</p>
<p>Recommendations should be good. I got them from my physics H/physics AP/multivariable teacher, and my geometry/calculus teacher. I also got one from my hockey coach/dig/eng. design teacher as a different perspective. </p>
<p>EC's:
4 yrs. varsity ice hockey
10 yrs travel ice hockey
I play hockey all year round so it is a big commitment
3 yrs. marching band and concert band
Community service doing inspections for engineering department
A lot of other community service (taps for memorial service, tutoring, helping out at town functions)
I worked as a full time custodian over the summer as well.</p>
<p>Basically thats it, I'm not gonna bore you guys with every little thing I've done since I was born. For the most part I'm a pretty laid back kid, but I know how to work hard and I try to get that point across in my application. </p>
<p>So if anyone has a realistic opinion I would appreciate it, and if you have anything to say about Cornell then awesome, I visited but I really don't know another student's perspective. </p>
<p>I'm also applying to Carnegie Melon, Tufts, Johns Hopskins, WPI, and Lehigh.</p>
