Early Decision- VA tech, Georgia Tech and Cornell

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>The past couple of days I'm starting to rethink my decision to go for Cornell's early decision program. First of all, it's too much work, it's an Ivy, and I think I have very good chances at G. Tech and V. Tech. I don't know what to do, here are my stats, tell me what you think. (I'm definitely going ROTC, btw)</p>

<p>GPA-4.0 (95.5 average)
SAT- 2050 (700 critical reading, 680 math, 670 writing), not retaking
SAT II- Math IIC 730, US History- 790, Literature- 650
AP Euro History- 5
AP US History- 5
AP English Lit.- 5</p>

<p>This year I'm taking AP US Gov, AP Comparative Gov, AP Bio, AP Calculus AB, AP English Language, and a college Italian course</p>

<p>ECs- Varsity Tennis 4 years, NHS, Beach Cleanup, tutoring ESL students, summer jobs, Holocaust Committee leadership thingamagig(I am not Jewish, btw), and construction extracuriculars (i wanna be a civil engineer)</p>

<p>Should I apply ED to Cornell, V Tech or G. Tech. Accoding to the US News world report, G Tech is much higher on the list of civil engineering schools than V Tech and better even than Cornell. However, that list has its faults. Help me out, I have this bad feeling that I don't have a shot at Cornell.</p>

<p>Your SAT's aren't particularly strong but try Cornell anyway...even though I think the competition will be too stiff. I also think G. Tech is a much stronger school for what you want to major in.</p>

<p>Cornell… I think personally that G Tech is ranked higher but as this is undergrad, I would say apply to Cornell and get the prestigious school diploma. Then reach for more prestigious programs than G Tech offers ( I know it’s like impossible to find one… G Tech is amazing in engineering… MIT would be a great choice after Cornell.) I think you have a shot, and it’s ED. However, the final decision is yours, and I’ll tell you this : I know people with 4.9 Weighted GPA and 2300 + SAT (I’m not lying) and got rejected… but talk in your essay how that schools would be great for you and I think you have a worthwhile chance to get in.</p>

<p>In/High Match at GT, In at VT…Cornell might be a low reach. I say go for GT, that’s where I want to go.</p>
