<p>In at BC. And note that you only apply to 1 school in Cornell. Yes you have a second choice but only a very very very small amount of students are admitted to that second choice instead of the first. If you are applying to Cornell, then apply to AEM since you are majoring in business/economics.</p>

<p>Dartmouth and Duke are very unlikely, class rank is weak for those two schools. Cornell, you have a decent shot at. You need to get your critical reading and math score up to 1500+ (they dont care about writing). Honestly you should apply early decision there since of the top top schools you listed, that i s the one you have the best chance of getting into. But first MAKE SURE that cornell iIS your number 1 choice. IF you get in, you can’t back out of the ED agreement. And you cant use financial aid as a reason because you will receive a full aid package from cornell.Good luck</p>

<p>Technically, wouldn’t 7/125 be top 10%?</p>

4

<p>7/125 is like 5%-6%. Thank you for your replies. And for i know you can only apply to one cornell college but i was wondering my chances at AEM and CAS separetely. But i understand that drtmouth would be hard for me</p>

5

<p>Your chances at AEM and CAS are pretty good if you apply early decision, and ok if you apply regular decision.</p>

<p>I’m just assuming they won’t round a 5.6 down. But I dunno.</p>

<p>Update: gpa is 4.29 weighted and 3.88 unweighted
Sat 2 math i got 790
I narrowed my ed to cornell cas or cals aem. Still dont know which is better option. And also i am thinking of princeton early action of about 20%. i live in nj and no one has ever early actioned there in nj. Also ppl who had applied to princeton in my school was not that competitive and people wit similar to my stats got into rd. princeton has early rate of around 21%</p>

<p>You can definitely get into Cornell. I think you should early for business and regular for CAS because I believe you will easily get into CAS even in regular, so might as well go for a harder school in the earlies</p>
