Upenn vs. Cornell Early decision?
Over the past weeks ive been split between applying to two schools for Early Decision. I need to know which one ill have a better chance at. I am planning on applying to UPenn ED or Cornell ED. But at the same time I love both schools. Im leaning towards Upenn right now but idk. (I have legacy at Upenn) Both of these schools are my reaches, so I want to apply to at least one of them for ED GPA: 3.4 (very low because i didnt work my hardest in highschool) SAT : 800 CR 800 W 800 Math (perfect score) Volunteer work : 150 + hours at nursing home and 100 + hours at the hospital Extra Curricular Activities : State qualifier for Speech and Debate, FBLA, Model U.N, Violin for 8 years. Currently working on publishing a huge research paper with my friend. (Hoping to get it published by the end of the summer) In addition im also working on a research paper of my own and hopefully i will publish that as well. Also traveled to Belgium and France to perform violin with my orchestra. What i plan to do before college applications : SAT IIs Math II and Physics or ACTs. AP tests for Psych and Statistics. Im taking a lot more APs my senior year of high school. And hopefully getting both the papers published.. I also will get a recommendation from a congressman (i know its not a big deal but i guess it will help a little bit) Note: State competition for Debate hasn't begun. I have just qualified. So im hoping i win that too. Also i plan on applying to the college of Arts and Sciences for each school. Please tell me which one to apply ED for and which one to apply EA or RD for

The UPenn legacy might result in admission if you are very lucky. However, the 3.4 GPA wil make admission to either very difficult. You should be in the top tenth of your class to have a realistic chance.
