I already have a list of 5 I just need to pick 4 from that list (school policy).
List: USC, UIUC, Cornell, Northwestern, UMD
I EA/ REAed: Princeton (deferred somehow), GATech, Purdue, UMich
Reason not to apply to Cornell:
Location (not a lot to do nearby)
Hard to get in for RD
Reason not to apply to UMD:
I will not consider UMD if any of my EA schools accept me but they might not accept me at all
Yea that's kinda it. thanks
dark summit
are you cs
if so id take off umd
they have an overall higher admit rate but they take a vast majority of cs admits EA
also arguably they have the worst campus out of the CS t20s
id say go for cornell
magic schooner
are you cs
mecheng
magic schooner
id say go for cornell
aight bet
dark summit
alr
well umd campus does kinda suck
corn is remote yeah but umd youre in the middle of the DC. metro, w heavy construction and no “college surrounding area” if you know what i mean
its one i explicitly decided not to go for
dark summit

Oh ok

US would be Purdue and UMD but ik they arent really safeties
grizzled dome
As long as you have a safety, you're good
magic schooner
yea
grizzled dome
I'd also opt for Cornell in your case
magic schooner
As long as you have a safety, you're good
nah cuz i did their summer camp so im guaranteed an offer
grizzled dome
Just shoot for the stars, if your safety is solid
magic schooner
thank you
magic schooner
And Purdue and UMD aren't safeties for ME
ik
but cuz im full pay i want to make my money's worth ya know
grizzled dome
But yeah in your case I'd definitely apply to Cornell
slow bobcat
if you haven’t applied to umd yet (ea) it will be very hard to get in
~90% of their incoming class is accepted during EA

~90% of their incoming class is accepted during EA
damn
yea no UMD wasnt on my list before
well that means im fucked
slow bobcat
well that means im fucked
Well then keep Cornell on your list and take off UMD? Honestly I can’t tell which would be easier to get into
probably umd rd tbh
they don’t release the breakdown of acceptance rates for ea/rd but ive hear rumors that it’s below 10% rd
just apply wherever u think would be a better fit at this point
magic schooner
alright

also arguably they have the worst campus out of the CS t20s
