Chances for Engineering ED?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>I know a million people post these, but...any help is appreciated.
Btw, this is what I said in my applications, but not necessarily what I want to do (e.g. recently, I've given good thought on becoming a doctor).</p>

<p>Applied: Cornell Engineering ED - Operations Research and Engineering
(2nd choice: CALS - Environmental Engineering)</p>

<p>SAT (best): 700 CR 720 M 730 W
SAT II: Bio 690 Math I 750 Math II 800 Chem 750
AP: BC Calc 5, Statistics 5, U.S. History 4</p>

<p>GPA: 3.6 (B+) - didn't qualify for Honor's Society</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>Grades: (first quarter, Senior year)
AP English B
AP Macroeconomics B+
AP Biology B
AP Chemistry A
Wind Ensemble A
Graph Theory P</p>

<p>I'm one year advanced in math, so I'm already done with my math curriculum in school and Graph Theory is an independent study course I'm taking at a local community college with 8 other students also in my position.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Math Team: 4 years (now captain)
Free the Children - volunteer organization (4 years)
Chess Club - 4 years (now president)
Church deacon (3 years)
Wind Ensemble - 4 years
Math/AP Statistics Tutor - 3 years (different kids)</p>

<p>Other Stuff: Cornell Summer College 2007
Microeconomics B
Macroeconomics B+
Engineering Seminar A-</p>

<p>I'm an American-born Taiwanese male, if that changes anything also.</p>

<p>i would say you have a pretty good and decent chance..your scores are there for both schools and your gpa is decent.</p>

3

<p>And my understanding is that Cornell really likes kids who attend their summer program.</p>

4

<p>Heh, that's good. But I didn't even do that well at SC.</p>

<p>i think cornell is looking for more diverse kids. Ive heard they're looking for kids with a more cultured experience (ie. 1/2 japanese 1/2 american, or korean etc...). your sat math scores also conflict with your math extracurriculars, i dunno if they'd like that.</p>

<p>i mean, maybe you can get in.... if disected flying pigs without vertebrae could fly.</p>
