<p>That GPA is really going to hurt, but if you manage 10% it should be OK.</p>

<p>SAT Writing is a little low low, but should be okay.</p>

<p>Your ECs are a little light on leadership. Any hope of being Varsity soccer captain next year?</p>

<p>Cornell — low reach
University of Chicago — high match
Northwestern — match
Notre Dame — match
Carnegie Mellon — match
Johns Hopkins — high match
Emory (Oxford College) — match
Rice (double legacy) — low match
NYU — match
Wakeforest — low match</p>

<p>Haha sadly, no hopes of being Varsity Captain. Do you think my chances change alot of i apply cornell ED?</p>

4

<p>your EC’s are weak… and so is your GPA. if you can study your butt off and fix those in time, I think you’ll have a shot at some of those schools.</p>

5

<p>Applying ED might move Cornell down to being a match. Cornell has been known to be very friendly towards ED.</p>

<p>Also, are you ORM or URM?</p>

6

<p>Uhh i am a Persian American from Texas, not quite URM, but somewhat unique :)</p>

7

<p>Definitely unique… might help out a little.</p>

8

<p>Haha woo! Well if i can get into cornell i will freak! Haha this thread has actually gotten me excited!</p>

9

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>If you can get into Cornell, I hope I can. :)</p>

10

<p>Haha your stats are better than mine</p>

11

<p>bump bump bump :)</p>

12

<p>If you don’t need financial aid, you have a good chance at all your schools.</p>

<p>Even needing aid, you have good enough chances to make applying worthwhile.</p>

13

<p>I think you can get into Cornell ED. They place great emphasis on test scores, and yours are excellent.</p>

14

<p>Woo Cornell ED is my dreeaamm!!</p>

15

<p>Oh and i forgot to mention that my psat was 223, so in texas that means almost guaranteed finalist!</p>
