<p>Wow, FRC regional championship??</p>

<p>You may consider joining your school’s math team (if it exists or make your own). Maybe consider getting president there to round out your stats. I heard that is a big plus for AEM business.</p>

<p>I agree with qtpies; business nowadays looks for more than just ‘econ’. Having strong quantitative skills is very helpful. Also consider reaching out to others from your school who have gone to Cornell; they may provide useful advice!</p>

<p>It’s probably a good idea to look at the stats of people from your school who have gotten into Cornell ED (if any) and compare them to your own. Based on your activities and awards, it appears as if you are applying for engineering rather than business, so you might want to branch out in terms of your extracurriculars. Math team, as recommended by previous posters, seems like a good idea, and as you don’t have too many leadership activities, being the president of the math team would be nice.</p>
