Thank you so much - I really appreciate your feedback.
and though I am aware that I am asking for subjective opinions, thank you for the warning warblersrule86 and oldfort.

At this point, I’m pretty sure I’m applying to Cornell ED. Although now I’m having trouble deciding whether or not to use the primary/alternate option. If I’m seeking to major in Biomedical Engineering (prior to med school), should I apply to COE or both COE and CALS? Since I’ve heard COE is more selective, would applying to both give me an advantage, though subtle?
