Admission chances to Cornell

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey all, </p>

<p>I'm an international student thinking about applying to Cornell (early decision). I'm a junior in High school. I'm a full IB (International Baccalaureate) student with a current average GPA of 3.91. I got 2080 on my SATs and I'm involved in numerous extra-curricular activities such as Student Council and Forensics. I also hold officer positions in numerous clubs: for example, one that deals with animal preservation and a cultural heritage club for my home country. I've done high-profile internships and have volunteered at organizations abroad. I'm thinking about taking SAT2s later this year. </p>

<p>If I write a decent application essay when I apply, what are my chances?</p>

<p>what’s your ib predicted score?</p>

<p>I get them my senior year, i’m a junior.</p>

<p>I am also an international applicant, i have similar EC’s and GPA, but i have 10 AP classes and 2240 SAT… </p>

<p>IT might come down to if u need financial aid or not. IF you dont, u may have a 50% chance, if u do, ur chances are slim to none.</p>

<p>jayjay. i dont understand ppl like you. when Cornell spends all their time telling everyone they are NEEDBLIND why do u STILL insist that applying for financial aid makes a difference in admissions?</p>

<p>as for the author of this thread, i dont see u getting in at all as an international with a 2020 score. i have a 2310 and 4.0 and i still am doubtful of myself…</p>

<p>lololololololol… u actually believe that need blind crap.</p>

<p>Cornell isn’t need-blind for international applicants, so yes it’s a legitimate concern.</p>

<p>Jayjay is Canadian… Cornell is “need blind” to Canadians supposedly. </p>

<p>But you know what’s interesting? All those need-aware schools admit approximately same number of Canadians as “need blind to Canadians” schools. Stats suggest otherwise from what the schools say. </p>

<p>SO take that need blind stuff with a grain of salt.</p>
