Are my chances at Ivies ruined?

<p>You could try the cornell subforum.</p>

<p>But obviously if your ECs/classes/etc. show no demonstrated interest towards HumEc/CALs related fields, it looks like you’re just trying to backdoor into the university.</p>

<p>For example hotel school probably has the lowest score thresholds, but you’ll get rejected if you don’t have anything related to hospitality.</p>

<p>I’d say you have the best chance at Cornell. Nothing wrong with Cornell. Your stats would also put you in a good place at many state flagships. Also make sure you have at least two safeties going out before Regular Decision deadlines as insurance.</p>

<p>My HS is just a regular HS, pretty small compared to others</p>

<p>I am reporting weighted, I might report unweighted GPA, it’s just my school ranks on weighted so if people have say maybe an A+ their GPA will inflate by maybe .5 points for that class while i have a regular maybe 4 vs their 4.5 for an A, but unweighted wise it is the same, so it affects my rank</p>

<p>Average SAT is around 1200-1300 at my school, cr m & wr combined</p>

<p>Well there is not really grade inflation to say, it’s just the school is in a bad area. The top of the class goes to great schools including ivies & send almost all to top 20 schools if they are in the top of the class. Colleges around the area like the school, I would say its the best for the area just low scores.</p>

<p>What is with you and my school? Lol. No point in arguing, I mean I provided information, and you’re obviously trying to degrade where I learn.</p>

<p>@GirlyGirl22 - Ignore him. If you look at his post history, he states the same stuff to people over and over (your school has grade inflation, my school was hard, your choice of colleges sucks) you get the point. As if posting here and degrading others choices somehow contributes to his success in getting into his school of choice. LOL.</p>

<p>Anyhow…</p>

<p>You may want to get those test scores up a bit by studying. I know you said you do not want to take more tests (which I do not blame you for) but the points made by folks on this thread about your current scores would hurt your chances. You could apply now, see what happens, then look to test scores as an area for improvement the next round.</p>
