<p>I am debating on either Cornell ED or NU ED. I intend on applying to Weinberg at NU and CALS at Cornell. Do I have a realistic shot at either of them, and which do you suppose I have a better chance at? I have visited NU, and they ask on the common app if the applicant has ever visited, I am leaning towards NU.</p>
