<p>Would it be easier to gain admission into Cornell if someone applied for computer science engineering?</p>
<p>Given the following stats etc....would you say that admission is likely?:</p>
<p>The person takes computer science at his school gets a 5 on the AP computer science tests and is interested in mathematics (mathematics by the way is related to computer science) etc. and won a small state-wide award in java programming</p>
<p>top 3%
95/100 gpa
toughest courseload possible
5's on all AP's
2250+ SAT
750~ on SAT IIs
Decent EC's with board positions etc..
mediocre awards
nice recs and essays</p>
<p>Since the person's applying for COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEERING, he does face less competition rite?</p>
<p>Did you say that CS Engineering at Cornell would be easy for admission? You're dreaming (or your "friend" is). You're an average applicant, so don't get your (or your "friend" 's) hopes up.</p>
<p>Competition is on par with any other eng major, and just because you get a five on one of the easest AP tests does not make you stand out better for that major than any other.<br>
It's hard to say if admission is likely because you didn't really say anything about ec's. Your tests are about right, but lots have been rejected with much better.</p>
