<p>So, I'm interested in HumEc, but I don't know quite how competitive it is. Could you give me an indication of where I stand relative to the applicant pool?</p>

<p>Thank you for your time and help. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>(Oh, and our first marking period just closed. We haven't gotten our report cards, but I know I have an A+ in AP Calc, and A's in AP Bio and AP Chem. I don't know my other grades.)</p>

<p>are you applying early or regular?</p>

3

<p>regular, sorry. (Yes, I acknowledge that this diminishes my chance...:( )</p>

4

<p>Also, if a ton of kids from my school are applying to Cornell, but they're applying to Engineering, I'm not competing against them, am I?</p>

5

<p>no you wont compete against them.
i think you have a really good chance of getting in</p>

<p>update on report card-A+ Calc, A in everything else. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I figured it might factor in. (It at least shows I've not yet succumb to senioritis...)</p>
