I might apply Early Decision
I won’t apply for financial aid
What college at Cornell? applying Early Decision, will nearly double your odds…
If Cornell is your top choice, apply ED for sure, especially if you don’t need aid.
@miscparentname I was thinking the labor and industrial relations school if that changes anything. I don’t want to waste my ED if I don’t have a chance
@Hurricaneadmit your stats are similar to my son, who was accepted early decision… and he had less extra curriculars , you also have legacy status. So i wouldn’t say you don’t have a chance… you have a decent chance… it’s just that the acceptance rate for ED is double what it is for RD
