<p>which part of cornell are u thinking of applying to?</p>

3

<p>arts and sciences... possibly engineering if it would help my chances</p>

<p>i usually don't like posting on chances thread, but since ur stats reminded me of my friend, what the heck. i would consider RD to engineering since you have high math and science scores (and assuming that you have good grades in school). My friend who got into engineering had similar SAT scores. but the catch is, he applied ED and got in. I don't know what the RD rates are for engineering. But give it a shot. can't hurt. and good luck!</p>
