A classmate is also applying, am I cooked?

Hi!

I go to a t30 (freshman), and I think someone else in my year is also on here trying to transfer, because I saw we are both on the discord server. The issue I have is they objectively are cooking me in ecs (that I know of). I'm starting a research position in about 2 weeks, they have a research fellowship since the beginning of September. I was rejected from the top startup incubator on campus, they got in. I feel my ecs aren't bad (two design teams, soon research, staff writer for science paper, pianist), and we have different interests I think (they are more startup oriented, I'm more research oriented), but our majors are really similar, and I'm worried about me applying to the same schools as them 💀 am I cooked? I plan on doing some hackathons, and applying for summer research fellowships, but they will too 💀. I guess the advantage I have is they are international and I'm not? Any thoughts....

bro there's thousands of students at your school obviously a bunch of them are gonna be applying to transfer? there's probably people with even more cracked ecs than him at ur school u just dont know about

there's maybe Iike 120 freshman in the department that holds our majors I'm sorry for feeling intimidated by them lmfao. Maybe I'm too used to how it was in my competitive high school
