<p>ignore the harverd ■■■■■, your stats look great! what did you get out of 2400 on the SAT? is your school competitive?
either way, you have strong grades and good ECs and being a minority-combined with being first generation college-will really help you out. ivies are a reach for everyone, but you look like a strong candidate.</p>

5

<p>Your academics and extra-curricular look great. You would be a great canidate for Cornell ED. Try to get an interview, and work really hard on your essay.</p>

6

<p>Being URM matters a lot. You have pretty good test scores-bringing it up a bit would help-but I think you are probably a match for Cornell.</p>

7

<p>I think you have a fantastic shot at being accepted, especially ED. Your URM status will help a lot, and give you that extra hook. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone :)</p>

<p>I got a 1940 out of 2400 but Cornell does not even glance at writing i heard. My school is not super competitive but it definitely is competitive.</p>

<p>Very nice GPA, ECs, SATs, etc etc.</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance of getting into Cornell ED. Ivies can be very unpredictable and very random, but I think it’s likely you’ll get in. Best of luck to you… </p>

<p>Question: My current employer was a professor at princeton… if he writes me a solid recommendation will that help me get into cornell or is it irrelevant because its from a princeton professor…</p>

<p>bump quadruple post</p>

<p>Your Sat Scores are a bit low but i think your GPA and extracurriculars balance that out. The fact that you’re African american helps too. </p>

<p>You look like a pretty good shot for ED Cornell.</p>

15

<p>problem: my parents were born in northern africa and evidently just because im not very dark skinned I can’t check black on college app’s. (according to another CC post) so… idk</p>

16

<p>The fact that your a URM greatly helps.
Your rigor is top notch as well.
Your SAT is middle of the pack, which is absolutely fine considring your other stats, and minority status.</p>

<p>Id say perfect match</p>

17

<p>Your score score could be a little low. Your GPA is great. I think it helps some to be. URM and first generation. You have good stats, at this point it is up to your essays and teacher recommendations. Good luck :)</p>

<p>retake your SATs or take the ACT, which would be my recommendation b/c it is SOOOOOO easy. even if you don’t i still think that you’ll get in ED. good luck!</p>
