Lets see.....I applied to the college of arts and sciences. "They say Cornell is the easiet ivy to get into but the hardest to get out" My gpa was 4.1 but i was only like 34 in my class. My sats were horrific like 1170/1600. Dont feel discouraged because cornell doesnt really look at sat scores for Blacks. I did have alot of extracurricular activities tho. Definately apply here, im here now wit the rest of the blk folks in the freshmen class and everyone is mad cool. Its pretty much as diverse as its gona get and the campus is too gorgeous.</p>

Thanx, i don't know you either.GPA depends on ur school, colleges don't put much emphasis on gpa. They factor in what classes you toook, i.e. AP, Honors etc. SAT scores are just a factor also. Hope that helps you. r u interested in Cornell? anymore questions feel free to ask.</p>
