<p>Any answer would be greatly appreciated...thanks!</p>

<p>I think your chances for ED are great. I truly don't see how Cornell can reject you unless the applicant pool is unusually strong. Are you in the top 10% of your class?</p>

4

<p>If you really want to get into CAS, I'd definately do ED if I were you</p>

5

<p>I am just BARELY out of the top 10, im actually in like top 12 or so. Which is a slight downside.</p>

<p>630 CR and 680 W, while acceptable, are not going to help you, especially considering you are not in the top 10%. Try to boost the scores to >700.</p>
