<p>10 char…</p>

4

<p>what about engineering at nu and cornell? sry to somewhat jack this thread</p>

5

<p>its ok =) its here to help everyone.</p>

6

<p>I’m pretty sure that in general, Cornell is more selective.</p>

7

<p>About the same. Cornell has lower admit rate but Northwestern has higher test scores.</p>

8

<p>why are cornells test scores so low then</p>

9

<p>they probably look at the apps more closely rather than such an emphasis on standardized tests. that seems more fair to me anyway.</p>

10

<p>I got a likely from Cornell Engineering, but got waitlisted at Northwestern.</p>

11

<p>well, i got waitlisted by Northwestern; so hopefully, cornell(CAS) is easier to get into than Northwestern (Weinberg)</p>

<p>“they probably look at the apps more closely rather than such an emphasis on standardized tests.”</p>

<p>ha, take a looksy at all the 2200+ SAT kids who were rejected/waitlisted at NU this year: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northwestern-university/479874-official-northwestern-university-class-2012-decisions.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northwestern-university/479874-official-northwestern-university-class-2012-decisions.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<hr>

<p>NU’s applicant pool may be stronger; Cornell’s ivy league affiliation sways a lot of kids</p>

13

<p>maybe the accept rate is lower because of more applicants who apply because it is an ivy? i got into northwestern engineering, so i guess i have hope for cornell. no likely letter though, which makes me nervous</p>

14

<p>what’s the hardest school to get in at NU?</p>

15

<p>what about compared to G.W. I heard their acceptance rate this year was 12%</p>

16

<p>i’m pretty sure gw’s standards are lower than cornells or northwesterns. i think they also might WL or reject people who use it as a safety because one of my friends was WL when his stats are considerably better.</p>

17

<p>george washinton’s acceptance rate dropped from 37% to 12%? doubt it.</p>

18

<p>nah, people who are calculated “12%” for GW are wrong. They’re probably taking the # of ** spots in the class ** divided by the applicants. Remember that schools accept more applicants than they have spots for since not everyone who gets an acceptance letter ends up going.</p>
