<p>For Cornell, it completely depends on what college you're signing up for. If you planning to apply to the College of Engineering, don't even think about doing so until you've taken a science SAT II.</p>

3

<p>nope, I am applying to the College of Arts and Sciences for an Econ.major..Do you think I stand a reasonable chance.?</p>

4

<p>you should bring up your critical reading score.</p>

<p>But if you really want a good chance, don't apply for Financial Aid. If you're not applying FA then you have an excellent chance. You still have a pretty good chance for getting in, but no FA could really help.</p>

5

<p>I'd say you have a good chance- congrats on all of your accomplishments!</p>

<p>Dr, why does not applying for aid increase the chance?</p>

6

<p>you're going to get in</p>

7

<p>"Dr, why does not applying for aid increase the chance?"</p>

<p>When it comes to international students, Cornell is NOT "need-blind." That means they actually take into consideration your income.</p>

<p>Oh I see, thanks :)</p>

<p>@ steve: thanks,mate
@ sanonick : muchas gracias
@ DRMAN : I am applying for FA..I know that it will significantly reduce my chances but there is not much I can do about it..I am praying that I get into at least one of the ten listed..</p>

10

<p>I think you will make it to at least one of them... I think your ECs are especially striking for this part of the world where majority of the students do nothing but study as the curriculum here is designed like that... You will get through...Cheers mate !!</p>

11

<p>100% Positive...
your SAT score is pretty solid and especially, look at your EC...
Your EC is great!</p>
