<p>ed i'd say you have a shot.</p>

<p>Sorry for my ignorance, but doesn't ED usually require a higher caliber (not saying that you are a bad student) of credentials?</p>

<p>I'd think you'd have a good chance getting in.</p>

4

<p>no, not at all. ED shows Cornell that it is your first choice and thus that you are commited and have a strong desire to attend the school. Often this makes up for lower stats. Applyling ed increases chances of admittance.</p>

<p>well, i'm applying RD but I think I will prove/show my interest</p>

<p>...anyone else? Should I apply AEM or ILR?</p>

7

<p>Is a 650 on CR section too low or enough for Cornell AEM? (I got 780 on math and 710 on writing with 12/12 on essay.) I am a non-native English speaker.</p>
