<p>Wow, really? I thought my GPA was definitely not on par.
Also, Dyson is like…one of the most selective programs and probably the most selective of Cornell</p>

<p>Looks like an average, maybe above average chance! No need to retake the Lit with your 760 CR. Anyway AEM is extremely competitive so it’s hard to tell more than whether you have a shot or not but you do certainly have the appropriate ECs and stats.</p>
