Can I get in ED?

The percentage admits ED is higher than RD, especially at Cornell, because there is, with very few exceptions, a guaranteed high yield and a chance to shape your class. As a result ED admits are sometimes not as statistically “gifted” as RD’s but this is changing as adcoms become more sophisticated and better predictors in this process. The statistics of the ED admits are still, however, within the same range and the evaluation I shared included ED’s and those RD’s who are attending, including legacies, URM’s, women (who have a slight advantage in Engineering School), and prospective varsity athletes. Again, I don’t mean to be harsh, but you have to get that Math SAT up to have any realistic chance at Cornell.
