So what are my chances at Cornell engineering? I’m also applying MIT, Harvard, and duke how about those?
Thanks!

Also, had a summer internship at MIT biomimetic lab that I forgot to include above.

There is no reason for you not to get in. The only reason you would get rejected is if they think you would not go there (for a better school).

Wow, that was more optimistic than I expected. What do you think about Harvard or mit?

Yeah, your profile certainly is Golden in terms of college admissions. Though, as the other poster implied, with those stats come the label of “spray shot applicant”. They know you’ll be applying to virtually all of the other top ranked institutions, so don’t be too surprised if you receive a wait list from at least one or two of your choices. But make no mistake, if you apply to a good 5 of those top schools of your choosing, you will very most likely get into one of them.

Just… You know. Start now. The essays won’t write themselves! Good luck pal.

And don’t forget to enlist in the 2020 RD thread!

Troops haven’t shown up yet, but it’s OK to stay in the barracks until the storm gets heavier. See you there!

@PaulDi
Do colleges actually do that? Reject for a better school?

some of his safeties might :stuck_out_tongue:
