Canadian Cornellians

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Hey all, I got admitted to Cornell's Engineering College, and I'm from Canada, so I was wondering if any other potential Canadian Cornellians would like to introduce themselves. MSN: <a href="mailto:leaf_fan1000@hotmail.com">leaf_fan1000@hotmail.com</a>, AIM: Leaffan1000. And no ridiculing the MSN/AIM, I made them names when I was like 10.</p>

<p>hey im from canada too...yay for canadians at cornell....</p>

<p>going to be at CAS</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

3

<p>me too... CAS... although I'm kind of doubting whether it's worth it to go to cornell in favour some of the better canadian programs. i mean... no offense but cornell is no harvard.</p>

4

<p>me too... CAS</p>

<p>lol "leaf_fan" booo :P</p>

5

<p>I'm from Toronto (Mississauga to be exact) going for engineering.</p>

6

<p>I'm from Vancouver and I got accepted to Engineering :p. Now all I need is the financial package... =D</p>

7

<p>You're right hands, Cornell is better because they will have all of us! heh</p>

<p>we should have a canadian people club as we are clearly the best... my email is <a href="mailto:emilyredston@hotmail.com">emilyredston@hotmail.com</a><a href="...my%20parents%20made%20it%20for%20me%20when%20i%20was%20like%2010%20so%20whatever">/email</a> and my aim is classicgirl1325 and i'd love to talk to some fellow canadians</p>

<p>Hey you guys!</p>

<p>I am a fellow Canadian too. I am, however, not accepted yet b/c I am only a junior (grade 11). </p>

<p>Could you guys all post your stats on here so I can see where I stand. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It's so nice to see that so many Canadians got into ivy-leagues. Whoooot. hehe.</p>

10

<p>My stats are pretty generic,
2210 SAT I
2400 SAT 2
Top 1% of 600 in competitive public school
IB curriculum, numerous math + science awards etc.
then a few clubs.</p>

11

<p>2310 SAT I
2350 SAT 2
Top 10 or so of 500 compeitive
random club president
etc. etc.</p>

12

<p>When you say "SAT 2" do u just mean your second try? cause there is a test called the SAT 2 but you can only get up to 800...</p>

<p>Those stats are amazing and you guys should be very proud of yourselves!</p>

13

<p>SAT I: 2130
SAT II: 2380</p>

<p>Some EC, one of the top chess players in Canada for my age group.</p>

<p>SAT II is a seperate exam, where they test you knowledge in each seperate subjects (ex. chem, physics, etc).</p>

14

<p>I know, I've just never seen people combine 3 of them to form a score out of 2400. Thats interesting and really good.</p>

15

<p>I had an awful SAT I - 2060
770 Chem | 780 Math 2 | 800 Physics
~96 average, which is top 10 in my class of 100.
I have some awards and stuff - schoolwide and like 99th percentile in some national contests, state/provincial level Chem Olympian, heh.
A few EC's I suppose, nothing crazy like huge volunteering or leadership.</p>

16

<p>Woo hoo! I'm live in Toronto, though I'm not sure if I'll attend Cornell for sure. Another front runner is Chicago...</p>

17

<p>i'm canadian, but I live in virginia.... but it'll change to ithaca, ny soon ( in 5 months, whoo!)</p>

18

<p>It's such an exciting yet depressing idea. We will soon go to a truly amazing place and have the time of our lives...but on the other hand we are leaving our friends, perhaps some for forever, and I myself will be about 5 1/2 hours away from my family. It seemed like when my brother went to college (about the same distance away) my parents were able to deal with it...especially because he caused a lot of drama in the house. Now that I'm going the house is going to be empty of kids and I'm just sort worried for my parents...this is definitely a crazy experience!</p>

19

<p>aww, tehe, worried for your parents... remember that commercial from a few years ago, when the kid moved out or went off to college, and the parents seemed sad, but went to disney world instead? I bet my parents would do just that.</p>

20

<p>Ya well you are right about my parents being happy...at least about one thing. My parents, especially my mother who is INSANELY EXCITED, want to go to Europe sooooooooooooooooo badly when I go to study abroad (Most likely to Italy) and it is pretty much gonna make them really really really happy and I can't wait! hah</p>
