<p>Thank you, I am enjoying RPI; while it’s definitely smaller than Cornell in most aspects, I have made good friends here, the ratio isn’t bad at all (especially in biomedical engineering :D) and also the pre med program is very organized here and RPI has a very high placement rate for getting pre meds into medical school. The close proximity to Albany medical college/center also opens many doors for volunteering and research.</p>
<p>Invilliers, your chances at cornell look very low, even early decision. ECs seem a bit random and lack focus and passion and class rank is not competitive enough.</p>
<p>Since you want to study history, take a look at liberal arts colleges: most have, at least, strong history programs.</p>
