EDII or RD to Stern/ Chances for Cornell

<p>Hi I'm an Asian Indian female living in Delaware that goes to a not super competitive public high school, but my current class is unusually good, with a whole bunch of people getting accepted into Ivies already.</p>

<p>Stats:
GPA unweighted: 88.5/100 (3.5ish? and with 10 APs total)
Rank: 25.5% out of about 400 students (rank is unweighted)
SAT: 2210
M: 760
CR: 750
W: 700</p>

<p>Subject Tests:
Math II: 720
World History - Still waiting</p>

<p>ECs:
- Technology Student Association (member since 7th grade and have held 3 chapter-level leadership positions and 1 state officer position; recieved 20+ top 3 awards at state level and one 1st place and a 2nd place at nationals)
- Academic Bowl (not very good, but have been participating since freshman year)
- Math League (member since 7th grade, been to state invitationals every year and have won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at regionals in 3 different years)
- Junior Achievement (our club starts a company and there's a competition at the end of the year to see which school had the best company. participated for 2 years, since that's how long JA has been available at our school)
- Science Olympiad (freshman, junior, and senior year)
- Tennis (freshman and sophomore year)

- volunteered in finance department of local hospital this summer (74 hours)</p>

<p>Hobbies:
- very passionate about dance (bollywood and kpop; minimal formal training but i perform for cultural charity events and cultural shows) there aren't any places for learning indian and hip hop dance where i live, so i teach myself. wrote my commonapp essay on how dance uncovered my passion for culture and how international business would allow me to pursue everything i want in life blahblah</p>

<p>I didn't list my AP scores on my app because some of them are bad and the other ones are average, so I didn't want to send some and not others. Better just not to send them at all.</p>

<p>Oh yeah and my senior schedule is:
AP Biology
Chinese 2
AP Spanish
AP Physics
AP Literature
AP Statistics</p>

<p>I'm confused as to whether I should apply EDII to NYU Stern. I really want to go there, but I don't want to bind myself in case I get into a better school. I'm applying to Cornell and UVA, and USC-Marshall <--- top 4 choices. And some other schools that I'm not worried about.</p>

<p>What are my chances for Cornell (1st choice Government, 2nd choice Economics)? Should I apply RD to Stern and hope that I get into Cornell, or just screw it and apply EDII to Stern?</p>

<p>bumpppppppp</p>

<p>can anyone help??</p>

<p>I would definitely ED Stern for your best shot. I think Cornell A & S would be impossible with your rank. ILR is easier, but still a major reach.</p>

<p>Would I still have a good shot at Stern if I didn’t EDII it?</p>

<p>bumppp help please</p>

<p>:/ help???</p>
