CS is in both Engineering and Arts & Sciences. And RD engineering to Cornell is very difficult; you're competing with all of the MIT/Stanford turnovers. I would say you have a very very very good chance ED but only a good chance RD.

Thanks,

You read that my UW is a 3.65? and that my CS/MATH gpa is a 3.86? Do you know anyway I can communicate this with Cornell?

Peppino

You can find the admissions officer specific to your area: http://admissions.cornell.edu/contac...representative

And with your GPA, a lot of other things matter-how competitive is your high school, how you are in relation to other students, etc. Yeah, it seems a little low but I would say everything else makes up for it.

Thanks for the info!
I would ED but my parents want me to keep my options open

Peppino

Well, you should ED atleast somewhere. It's one of the easiest ways to increase your chances of getting in.
