Chances ED at Duke/Penn/Cornell?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>As the title suggests:</p>

<p>Stats:
Male, from competitive public HS in MA (class of ~400, about 15-25 to ivies each year)</p>

<p>GPA: ~3.85 UW, 4.6 W (6 APs by graduation plus 2 college classes) - this would be a 3.9+ had it not been for freshman year (upward trend)
Rank: My HS does UW ranks, so I get penalized a bit. I'm around the top 10%- give or take 3/4 spots
SAT: 2010 (retaking later, but will use ACT)
ACT: 33 (36 M, 35 Science, 31 Writing, 31 Reading)
Subject Tests: 790 and 770 on Math lvl 2 and Physics subject tests.
Intended Major: MechE</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: I'm not going to go in much depth but I have a fair amount of ECs related to engineering and science. I have leadership positions in clubs, have gone to state/nationals in competitions and have worked in labs (I intend on sending an additional rec from mentor and/or research abstract)</p>

<p>Main: Robotics (state/national level) and Lab Work (at a top 10 USNWR school)
Secondary: Speech & Debate, Golf, Science Olympiad, etc. </p>

<p>Schools:
1. Duke/Penn/Cornell
2. Columbia (and maybe brown)
3. MIT
4. Michigan/Northwestern
5. CMU
6 Georgia Tech</p>

<p>Honestly, do I have a chance at Duke/Penn/Cornell for ED? Retake any standardized tests? How much will class rank kill me (though it is unweighted)?</p>

<p>You can do really well Ed. Penn accepts 50% of the class ED so if you want to go there def apply early. What will you major in? If non business you have a fantastic chance, with business you still probably have a great chance. But what are you majoring in? That will help a lot for which school to apply to</p>

<p>Edit: never mind see engineering you should apply Ed at penn then, you have an even better chance</p>

<p>Definitely applying for an engineering major. Any idea of what the acceptance rate ED to SEAS is? I know Penn accepted ~26% this year ED</p>
