<p>here’s a tailored response for Cornell:</p>
<p>if you’re going into business, you’re probably applying to CALS and AEM (applied economics and management). That means several things. First off, your SAT IIs don’t count for much because CALS does not require them (which means they hardly glance at them). Your SAT and ACT are about average or a little higher.

<p>Your ECs give you the best advantage. I hope they will be the subject of your essaies. Starting your own business and club both show leadership and interest in business. Work that as much as you can.</p>
<p>Your grades and GPA are not to your advantage. However, if you mention your extra work and passion for your business (and NOT how you were bored with your classes!) then i think that could be overlooked.</p>
<p>overall, your chances are decent for dyson in my opinion. The acceptance rate is only 10%, and only going to get more competitive as Cornell continues to climb business rankings.</p>
<p>any specific questions for me? I got accepted into dyson myself, and have spoken with grads, current students, admissions staff, and professors (I live near the school and know people) so I can give you about as much information as undergrad applicants can know when they apply</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
