<p>and i consider my essays to be somewhat strong.</p>

<p>so again ....WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING INTO CALS</p>

<p>Sorry, while i think you have great ec's ... your gpa and sats are too low for Cornell...just glance over at the ed thread</p>

<p>Yeah I completely agree. You should check this site out to give you an idea of last years applicants</p>

<p>Notice that those in the 3rd and 4th 10%, which is where you stand have a 4.8% of acceptance. I know I wouldn't have gotten in if I had your stats. sorry to tell you.</p>

<p>Immediately disqualified in this context unless you write an amazing essay. Although, you never know.</p>

<p>hahaha</p>

<p>10char.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, I don't think you have a very good chance.</p>

<p>I think u've got a good chance.</p>

<p>cornell is sooo unpredictable i see no reason why you dont stand a chance</p>

<p>Im sry to tell you but dont expect a "Congratulations" although you might get one, cuz ur GPA and SAT are below avg. And I don't see whats special about ur ECs. Being an azn definitely doesnt help in the admission process and i thought they hated it when ppl attach their resumes?</p>

<p>IHateS@T, im sorry for asking but im just curious how things turned out for everyone. were you accepted/deferred/rejected? i was rejected sadly</p>

<p>What I said was harsh, I know. Just that being Asian doesn't help with your scores and GPA.</p>

<p>Did you take the ACT? If you got 30 or above on that, you have a fairly good chance, but with one of your SATs in the 500s (red zone) it will be hard.</p>

<p>ugh it annoys me how being Asian is going to hurt you in the long-run, it's so stupid...i know colleges can't be completely race blind, but let's be honest, certain ethnic groups have an easier time getting in. Whatever, im south asian and i'm proud to say that I don't need to rely on affirmative action to get me into college</p>

<p>anyway, to answer your question about the regents, I don't think they're really going to take it into account that much, esp since they're considered easy tests...but good job on chem, i only got like a 88 on that one</p>

<p>A benefit of high regents scores: You might qualify for some NYS merit scholarship. At least at my school, they gave the person with the highest average score something like $1500/yr, and they gave a few others $500/yr.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty low chance. i also looked put your stats into the academic index calculator, and it came out with 192. i don't know - maybe they'll see something in your application that i didnt</p>

<p>I got in ED, but my SATs were pretty low (CR: 600, M:610, W:600), but I some how manage to get a 30 on the ACTs which is right in Cornell's middle 50%. And I'm also ranked 14/338. I think you should at least try. You never know you could be what they're looking for. Good luck.</p>
