<p>I dont know what your chances are... However, if u really want to know, I applied ED for eng. and my stats are slightly better so if I get in, I'll let u know...</p>
<p>I think you have good shot, the SAT is the only problem for the ENgineering program</p>
<p>^ MetallicManiac: but then you're applying ED, which raises your chance considerably (isn't cornell's ED rate around 50%?)</p>
<p>i didnt apply ED becausee I am applying o some programs that i want to get into and wanted to leave my future financial expenditures open for consideration</p>
<p>I have a feeling that the ED acceptance rate is around 40% probably due to 2 reasons: 1) they consider that ED students REALLY want to go to cornell and 2) the average stats of most students who apply ED is greater than that of those who apply RD ...although i'm not too sure about the 2nd one...</p>
<p>no you're wrong on the second part.. please don't make up stuff you don't know.. it hurts others.. cornell specifically states that the ED pool is less competitive than the RD pool and that the increase in acceptance is because they know ED applicants really want to go there .. whereas in RD, cornell suffers from being the "ivy safety" for many harvard/princeton applicants.</p>
<p>straight from cornell's website: <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/firstyear/early.cfm%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/firstyear/early.cfm</a>
it states "Because enthusiasm for Cornell is considered a plus, early-decision applicants stand a better chance of gaining admission.".. thats the reason not the second part of what you said.</p>
<p>If cornell tends to be a big safety for princeton/harvard hopefuls, do I stand a chance?? Look at my stats on the top</p>
<p>
Where does Cornell say this?</p>
<p>stated by former Cornell admissions director who gave informational engineering sessions at cornell over the summer. he specifically stated that at cornell, the ed pool is a little less competitive than the RD pool.</p>
