Applying to College

<p>I want to apply to Cornell's CAS for ED, but I don't know if I have a chance.... I don't want to not be able to get into FSU's honors program by submitting it later than ED. I'm totally lost. Which should I apply to as ED? </p>

<p>Do I stand a good chance with early decision for the upcoming year?</p>

<p>This is a strong profile that will appeal to the admissions department. Don’t apply there ED unless you are sure Cornell is your first choice and financial aid is not an issue.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! What you said is very good to hear, and yes, Cornell is definitely my top choice after graduation… As long as I have a good chance, then using up my ED on Cornell is fine.</p>

<p>Yes, you have strong points that will likely appeal to the Cornell admissions office. If it truly is your first choice, go for it! Best of luck</p>

<p>Your profile is strong and I feel you’d have a good shot at Cornell RD. If you haven’t visited yet, you should before you commit to ED. I feel you get into other pretty good top 25 schools besides Cornell. I’m assuming your still a junior so theres no rush to make a decision yet.</p>

<p>“Don’t apply there ED unless you are sure Cornell is your first choice and financial aid is not an issue.”</p>

<p>Reword slightly: Don’t apply there ED unless you are sure Cornell is your first choice and you don’t care about comparing financial aid offers, that you’re prepared to take it or leave it, whatever FA they offer you.</p>
