<p>Hey everyone.
I'm a Latina from Miami, Fl, but I go to a prestigious boarding school in NH.
I am interested in sciences and I have a 31 for the ACT.
I was wondering where you guys would think I would have a better chance of being accepted in. I was thinking about applying to the engineering school for Cornell.
My grades are average, my EC's and recs are strong, and I have an interesting background/story.
Thanks!</p>

<p>What exactly is your gpa because average is vague…just at of curiosity what school in nh, because I am from an live in nh</p>
<p>I vote Cornell. Bigger school, very strong in sciences and engineering.</p>
<p>your ACT could be higher. Math scores for your SAT and SAT IIs are very important. ECs and other out of school activities play a role. Have you done anything to show interest in engineering? Cornell’s engineering program is very solid, and though it accepts a fair number of applicants you still have to prove that you’re a cut above most applicants.</p>
<p>your chance: from what little info there is, I’d say it’s a reach (not low, not high). Your chances hinge on your ECs and strength in math, in my opinion.</p>
<p>any specific questions? send me a visitor message and I’ll get back to you. I have a sibling in engineering, have met professors, live near the school, and have been accepted to Cornell myself for the fall. I’ll help you with what i can</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
