<p>Hello,</p>

<p>My outlook into the future is to major undergrad in Electrical/Computer engineering and move on to an MBA in grad school (or do a 3/2 program like the one in Tepper).</p>

<p>The schools I'm really debating are CMU, Cornell and Penn and I'm not sure which one I should ED to.</p>

<p>Most importantly, if I do not ED to CMU, what are my chances of receiving a merit based scholarship?</p>

<p>Either way, what are my chances of getting in both RD/ED at CMU?</p>

<p>Mogal, CMU doesn’t really give merit scholarships to anyone. The closest thing is the Carnegie Scholarship, but that is mainly based on need (with a small merit component).</p>

<p>If you’re not set on going to one specific school already, you probably shouldn’t be applying early decision.</p>
