<p>Hey Everyone, </p>
<p>I am interested in engineering and really would like to get into Cornell's program. I know they have good programs and I like the opportunities they of being on a student run project team. </p>
<p>My real question is whether I have a good enough shot for Ed, such that I should apply. CMU and Cornell are basically tied for me in how much I like them and really would like to get into one of them. I need a full ride financially, and CMU said they would meet need for ED. Just wondering what your view is. </p>
<p>My Stats: (CR: 730/M: 720/W: 780)
Subject tests: 790 Math II, 800 Chem
Sophomore Year: AP Chem(5), AP Calc AB(5), AP English Comp(4), AP World(5)
Junior Year: Calc BC, Bio, US, Adv Topology </p>
<p>Rigorous schedule Senior Year mostly aps</p>
<p>In top 5% at competitive, Catholic high school. GPA 97.37/100. </p>
<p>EC:
Some sports: (baseball, track, swimming) not varsity though,
Captain of Robotics Team
Club Moderator(Head Coach) Position for two of our school's modified robotics team. Formerly a faculty position. Stepped up to fill the position when the teams were going to be discontinued because of lack of a coach. (Essay)

Physics Research Internship at U of R
Some more volunteering with Church and other organizations</p>
<p>Awards:
Rensellaer Math Medal
National Chemistry Olympiad Regional Nominee(technically a finalist)
Some school stuff</p>
<p>I'm really interested in math, and physics. And I like the good that can come of their application to the real world via engineering. I also have a strong interest in Catholic Apologetics, theology and philosophy, which Cornell, being a larger broader university would be able to provide versus like MIT, RPI and to a degree CMU. </p>
<p>I am also wondering about my chances for MIT, CMU, RPI, Stanford, Caltech, and Yale's engineering program </p>
<p>If anyone has any other suggestions at possible engineering schools, I would love to hear them. I really want a school that is tough academically but at the same time has an active student body in volunteering, community work, and religious community. </p>
<p>Thank you. And all the best.</p>
