<p>yeah, dont count CMU as a safety. It is definitely not a safety. UCSB would be considered a safety. Not CMU because it is one of the best colleges and really hard for admission.</p>
<p>CMU should only be seen as a fallback if you can afford it without aid. You need a true safety, academic and financial.</p>
<p>okdk…im just trying to be optimistic…lol</p>
<p>Lol SA-07, MIT 2017?</p>
<p>Just something I am aiming for, any problems?</p>
<p>^you are too young to give people advices. Just read and learn.</p>
<p>right now i’m thinking about applying ED to Cornell…any chances?</p>
<p>lol shuaishuaishuai, you underestimate the power of youngsters. Dude, I know the college admissions process and how its done. I research this stuff constantly for my future. So I dont need your rubbish that I am ignorant and knaive.</p>
<p>squelchy451- what major are you going for? i think you have a good chance at Cornell if you want to do Music major. But if you want to do economics, law, or pre-med, then your chances aren’t very high.</p>
<p>I think colleges dont really care what major you apply to since they know you’re going to change at least once…although berkeley sez that biochem engineering is the hardest major…</p>
<p>Im gonna put either undecided or applied math…</p>
<p>well Cornell really cares about what major you choose because they really look for fit. I wanted tp apply to the APM major at Human Ecology at Cornell, but my ECs don’t really match that college so now i’m probably applying to the Arts and Science college, which is by far the hardest to get in.</p>
<p>Why don’t you do Rice ED? i think you would be pretty competitive as not a lot of asians apply to those southern schools. I would have applied to Rice ED if they give financial aid to internationals. But they don’t, so i have to try my luck at ivies =(</p>
