<p>Has anyone in the past gotten into Duke AND Cornell? I heard its harder to get into Duke, but I like Cornell because I might go for engineering.</p>
<p>I was wondering if I had a good chance if I gotten into Duke already.</p>
<p>I got into both and chose Cornell. Both are great schools though, so congrats and good luck with Cornell!</p>
<p>but Duke has got a “Loop Pizza Grill” (if you haven’t lived in the triangle area… then you haven’t lived…?) fail they have locations in GA and FL</p>
<p>any specific reasons?
what’s your intended major?</p>
<p>hey its the uc berkeley guy lol</p>
<p>Be happy, man. Lots of people want Duke, but couldn’t get it. Like me.</p>
<p>My D is also interested in engineering. She got a likely letter from Cornell Engineering a few weeks ago and just got accepted to Duke/Pratt. She did not get a likely from Duke though so based on her experience I would say your chances are good at Cornell if you got into Duke. Her intended major is BME but she is NOT pre-med.
Good luck!</p>
<p>Cornell does not have a BME major, sorry to inform you and your daughter.</p>
<p>Instead there exists Biological and Environmental Engineering, with a concentration in Bio-med.</p>
<p>@TKSmom: Thanks! I really envy your daughter!
@ vitamin: I’d like a general univeristy that’s really good in engineering and a lot of other stuff in general. I figured MIT and Caltech were too specialized…maybe for grad school they’re a really good fit.</p>
<p>For now, I want to explore my options (especially in engineering). Stanford was my number 1, and Cornell is my number 2 ;]</p>
<p>@WhartonWanabe: As much as find your comment hilarious, please DO NOT call me that. Ever!</p>
<p>are you from the west coast?</p>
<p>I also got a likely from Cornell as a female in engineering, and was admitted to Duke on Monday. Right now, I think I like Duke slightly more, but I’m going to wait to make the final decision when I visit! Like you, my first choice was also Stanford, but I was rejected early :(</p>

<p>You can also major in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, etc., and concentrate in biomedical enginerring.</p>
<p>Cornell does not believe that students can dive right into biomedical engineering – instead you need to be grounded and have depth in one of the more traditional methods of engineering first. Biomedical engineering is something better suited for graduate study after you have all of the required foundations satisfied.</p>
