<p>I want to apply to Cornell for engineering ED, and also would like some tips on how to boost my chances of getting in. Thanks a ton! :D</p>

<p>Bump, sorry I kinda need help :cry: </p>

<p>bump, will chance back</p>

<p>Judging based off your course schedule and other stats, I think you have a good shot at Cornell ED. For engineering you’ll need a higher math score on the SAT. </p>

<p>I think that you have the academics that a lot of people will have applying to cornell, so what you really shouild do to make yourself a strong candidate is write a great essay and really focus on what your passions are. (REACH just like everyone else)</p>

<p>Cornell ED: Waitlisted</p>

<p>Definitely aim for a higher SAT or ACT. Engineering at Cornell is crazy competitive; too many applicants with 2250+/34+ applying. </p>

<p>Can you chance me for my NYU stern and UC thread??</p>

<p>@InsideOutTwinkie‌ Do you have a link i can follow?</p>

<p>Thanks guys! My hope is to get my SAT 1 score up to 2250+. Sadly i won’t be able to put down the SAT II scores that i’ll be getting in december :c.</p>

<p>I also forgot to mention that I did an internship at a prestigious software company over the summer if that helps my chances, for reasons, i can’t mention the name.</p>

9

<p>Oh another thing, do you guys think i should apply ed for the college of arts and sciences or college of engineering to boost my chances? My planned major is physics and computer science,</p>

<p>If you get deferred, then you should have a reasonably good chance of getting accepted again (you would be able to submit better subject test scores, which would demonstrate improvement). I don’t know enough about Cornell to determine which college is best for you to apply to. So, there are two tracks for you: either get accepted ED (yay!) or get deferred, update with better subject test scores and senior yr grades, and then hopefully get accepted.</p>
