<p>So how do I look like for Cornell Engineering ED. I know my SAT scores are not so fantastic but we rarely have people who know how to teach the test so I completely studied on my own and CR was the most difficult to improve same with the SAT 2s.</p>

<p>Bump please!</p>

3

<p>ECs are “one-mile-wide, one-inch-deep” variety so I’d say a low reach (assuming 4.0 GPA) for ED.</p>

4

<p>Well my school gives a 4.5 GPA which I still don’t understand why and my GandC scaled my grades so I had a 4.4/4.5 GPA.</p>

5

<p>Anyone Please???</p>

<p>How it donating to Haiti an EC…? That is completely irrelevant and should not be used to try to gain admissions to a college.</p>

8

<p>You misinterpreted it, maybe next time I’ll elaborate more. We stirred up a program and got about $5000 which we donated to Haiti and got a UNICEF award for, so that’s not EC?</p>

9

<p>Here in America, we describe things sufficiently and if we do not, we correct ourselves and then admit that we made a mistake. We do not then flip it back on the person, making them seem absurd.</p>

<p>Maybe you still have a few things to learn.</p>

10

<p>I didn’t flip anything to make you sound absurd, I elaborated and asked a simple question which was harmless.</p>

11

<p>“so that’s not EC?”</p>

<p>Maybe you just don’t know much about English to know what you did. You can move along now. You may learn if you are fortunate and get accepted.</p>

12

<p>Please can someone else chance me?</p>

13

<p>I’m Sorry wallrus75 if I was offensive but I really explicitly meant “so that’s not ec?”</p>

14

<p>Ok now going to chancing. You have clearly tried hard in high school and you will be able to get into a good college in the United States if you want to. If it is Cornell, an Ivy league, or even a top 25 comes to chance, definitely with international students. The admission officers are going to see that you are charitable through your ECs so you need to make sure they also know more about you and what else you do. Nothing is worse than a “this is why I care so much about humanity” essay.</p>

15

<p>Thank you so much, I think I’m going to add that.</p>

16

<p>how did you get high in your SATs with bad english?</p>

17

<p>What is bad in his English?</p>

18

<p>His english is just fine. He clearly knows the structure of sentences, he just uses words where we sometimes would not, but they are technically still right.</p>

19

<p>Is my SAT score high? Because I always see CCer retaking after 2200s.</p>
