Would someone be able to help me decide my chances of getting in to cornell on regular decision? I’m really indecisive on whether or not to ED there. I got interested in engineering pretty late into high school so don’t know if I can get into their competitive engineering school.

Job/Work Experience:
Volunteer/Community service: ~600 just from miscellaneous volunteer events I’ve done throughout the years. Maybe 100 from going on mission trips with a religious orchestra to Cuba/Peru
Summer Activities:
- Junior Summer: Music Camp (Interharmony) in Italy
: Biology internship at Johns Hopkins (i had some stuff going for biology pretty early but after this internship
realized this wasn’t what I wanted to do and gave up a lot of biology extracurriculars I had built up
freshmen/sophomore year)
- Senior Summer (projected): miraculously got an engineering internship with an AEOP Program (army science outreach) also at Johns Hopkins but focused on engineering. Really excited because I think engineering is what I'm actually interested in
I don’t have financial issues but I really would not like to pay the price as I plan on going to grad school. I would just like to see all my options and ED to ivy leagues is very restrictive. Thank you!!!
