<p>Ok. I have a dilemma concerning whether to do early decision for Cornell or early action for MIT. I'm a Junior, and here's the basics of my resume:</p>
<p>ACT: 35 Composite
Science: 36
Math: 35
English: 35
Reading: 32</p>
<p>SAT: 2220 (taking it again soon)
Math: 760
Writing: 750
CR: 710</p>
<p>SAT II Tests: (took 2 math's to help my chances to get an 800 on one of them...)
Math I: 800
Math II: 800
Physics: Currently self-studying to take soon</p>
<p>Major extracurriculars/Accomplishments: (I exclude the small stuff like low-maintenance clubs)
Key Club starting Sophomore year
Job tutoring kids 8 hours/week in math (for one year this June)
Planning to help in physics research at my local university this summer.
1st Place in State-wide mathematics competition for the past 2 years.
4.0 Unweighted GPA
1st in class of 129</p>
<p>In case you haven't guessed yet, I probably will double-major in mathematics or physics and subsequently go onto a grad school and further study either pure mathematics or theoretical physics. The 2 schools which I really like (and I visited both of them) are Cornell and MIT, but I liked MIT slightly better. However, I can't decide whether to do early decision for Cornell, which would force me to go there if I got in, or to risk it and try early action for MIT.</p>
<p>Also, I would like to point out that any responses here will be taken as mere suggestions for me. Don't feel like you could potentially ruin my life by giving your opinion. I just want to know what you perceive as the wisest course of action.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
