<p>you cant have a 5.64, APs are just worth 5. other than that i honestly cannot imagine you being rejected</p>

<p>SamSaulsbury, he can have a 5.64. I have a 5.3–it just depends on each school’s grading system. my school grades out of 6 for APs.
usernamepassword: I think you’re very competitive. I’m guessing you’re applying to CAS? I don’t think retaking the ACT will make much of a difference since test scores only matter so much. you definitely have the grades/scores so I think your essays and recommendations are what are going to make the difference (: chance me back?<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/1213369-im-little-obsessed-chance-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/1213369-im-little-obsessed-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>ah, my bad</p>

5

<p>actually at my school, ap/honors = 6.1</p>

<p>regular = 5
Our school is kind of weird like that.</p>

6

<p>Nice Stats, what school in Illinois? :O</p>

7

<p>Did you take any SAT IIs. I think you need 2 even with ACT.</p>

<p>Philosophy club - founder, purpose of the club, what did you do</p>

8

<p>Umm, yeah basically I organized the meetings, got all the paperwork officiated, the announcments, the signs/posters, etcetera…</p>

<p>And basically the meetings consisted of a open discussion beginning with one topic or philosophical question “What is the purpose of life?” (Usually not that general) and we would go on from there, 20-30 kids would sit and tell people what they thought, debate the question and so on.</p>

<p>SAT 2: 770 Math 2 770 USH.</p>

<p>Also my school is pretty good, sent a kid to Harvard, a few years ago, stanford last year, probably many other places too. It offers tons of AP’s and it is probably better than average, it is in the suburbs.</p>

9

<p>oh you lucky butt. we have 10 APs total and one of them just involves coloring. i have no idea how but we got 6 into cal, 5 into davis, 4 into UCLA, and 1 into stanford last year</p>
