<p>Take the chance, Dmouth ED sounds like a good plan with your resume.</p>

<p>I say go with Dartmouth too</p>

<p>Use the search function, this has been recently debated. IMO, Cornell is significantly easier to get into ED, and definitely if you apply to one of their contract schools.</p>

<p>Without rank and knowing how many APs your school offers, it would be impossible to say if you have a shot at either.</p>
