Hello all,
I am applying ED to the Cornell School of Engineering. I was hoping someone on here would have an idea of what I could expect to hear back from them if I give some information about my history, and if anyone does please respond and I’ll provide it!
Thank you so much!!!

We can’t really tell you anything until we hear your stats.
Here is what I could think of:
-Not submitting SAT 1, but ACT Composite 34(32R, 34W, 35S, 35M)
-SAT 2: USH 690 and Chemistry 700. Math 2 and Physics pending
-AP Chem-4 and AP USH-4
-Currently taking: AP English lit&comp, AP Physics 2, AP Stats, AP Psych, Band, AP Calc, and an online AP Comp Sci course.
-top 5% of ~250, public school. GPA weighted 4.17 unweighted something like 3.85
-Math club varsity competitor, president of physics club, model congress officer, flute section leader, national honor society, run xc fall, track spring, and crossfit (competition training and participating) in winter, and I tutor a few middle schoolers in math to make a little bit of money.
-past two summers spent doing research in biomedical engineering and then pharmacology labs @ Yale, wrote about that in essays
-summer before that worked the whole summer for a summer camp w no pay, got >1000 volunteer hours from it
-Awards: Smith College book award, excellence in English award freshman year, scholar arts in sept 2015, high honors freshman-jr year.
My essays aren’t finished yet but I am making them as close to perfect as I can get. I am a white female, middle/upper class income family. Thanks so much to anyone who can give me insight!!
Cornell requires that you submit ALL test scores. Applicants who don’t follow their rules are usually sorry.
I am sending my SAT Math 2 and Physics scores, I took the tests October 3rd and the scores come back before their ED deadline. I’m just not sending any SAT 1 dates, they wouldn’t be able to see that I took that if I didn’t send those dates, correct? I was under the impression that’s how it worked. I know someone who got into Cornell without submitting their ACT score. Other than that where do I stand?
