<p>improve your CR score and I doubt Cornell will reject you</p>

3

<p>Yeah, you look great except for that CR score!</p>

4

<p>730 on SAT I Math and a ~700 on SAT II MathII for ENG? I’d say you have a shot, but it’s definitely iffy.</p>

5

<p>In! </p>

<p>10 char</p>

<p>Er…international applicants have it much harder, though not applying for aid helps I guess. You might want to up your math, especially since youre engineering. Your job experience helps I guess. Btw, is your ranking for school or for class…since 57 seems small for a grade and large for a class.</p>

<p>So i scored a 780 on Math Level 2 and 700 Physics. Any improvement in chances?</p>

<p>@ thevicfung, my ranking is from my class.</p>
