<p>“Since I’m Asian, it may be hard to stand out above everyone else in Engineering?”</p>
<p>??? What on earth does this mean?? I don’t think at Cornell they give out extra points on engineering exams if you happen to be asian. The stats ranges for incoming cornell engineering students are published, despite having smaller % asians (though still probably plenty) the ranges speak for themselves. </p>
<p>I am Jewish, and before I got to college I thought Jews were smarter than everybody else. It was at Cornell I leaned that actually there were a lot of different kinds of people smarter than some Jews. In particular, this one. Maybe it would be good for you to have a similar experience. Maybe not. Maybe you meant something else altogether.</p>
<p>But anyway, this topic has come up once or twice before,eg</p>

<p>There are zillions of other threads, just search on “Berkeley” on the Cornell sub-forum, and vica versa.</p>
