<p>although biomed for undergrad at college of engineering is only a minor. </p>
<p>I would say if you were to apply to COE you would have a pretty good shot ED, although if you had more club based science/math (and leadership positions in them) it would help a lot more.</p>
<p>My daughter got in to Cornell (and attends), my son did not. They had the same total score SAT-2100 (he had higher math, physics--she higher verbal, writing) very close class rank (both top 5%) and similar extracurriculars. She was a leader in the activities more related to the school she applied to.</p>
<p>My daughter's friend was not accepted to Cornell even though he got an 800 on the verbal SAT, his father and brother graduated from Cornell and he applied ED. He was not in the most difficult courses, his ranking was not at the top and his extracurriculars were limited.</p>
<p>Thank you all. I am going ED Computer Science.</p>
<p>Can you guys take a look at my chance thread? "Human Ecology! Opinions and Chance Me Please"
The feedback I received was wayyy different from this applicant, and my ECs are definitely not "stellar" like karajanhra was describing.
I kept getting "you have an excellent shot at human ecology" but now I'm kind of worried lol.
Thanks in advance!
And SRG, I think you do have a good shot at Cornell, but it depends on which college you are applying to. I agree that listing Comp Sci instead of Biomed E will help you, since it will make you come off as more unique compared to the multitude of other Asian applicants who are interested in biology.
Best of luck with applying!</p>
<p>I got in bio engineering with none of the stuff the 3rd post mentioned (except the 4.0 gpa). I didn't have 2300+ SATs, only 2200+, I had 1 AP (all my school offered) which I got a 3 in :(, didn't win or even enter any international science competitions, didn't get published in any journals, or anything like that. I must be a HUGE minority.O yea, I wasn't even in the top 10 percent of my class.</p>
<p>Your in. Cornell is an EASY ivy to get into. It's easier than some non-ivy league schools to.</p>
<p>Apply ED at COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY SEAS!!! you have a great shot ED there!</p>
<p>And apply RD Cornell. You're very likely to get in.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
