Chances for Cornell ED or Northwestern ED?

<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>

<p>Thank you, and will chance back!</p>

<p>Hmmm… I think that you might actually look better for cornell. and btw, cornell likes seeing great essays, so maybe worry less about your stats and work more on the essays instead?
don’t loose hope- i think that it won’t be your gpa that determines whether of not you get in-it’s more about character, i guess.</p>

<p>Always curious when I see “top xx high school in the country” - what ranking are you going by?</p>
