<p>Thanks</p>

<p>anyone have any thoughts??</p>

<p>first – out of curiousity, what do you think your chances are – strengths and weaknesses?</p>

<p>I’d say you’re a competitive candidate! I’d work on the SAT score though, maybe bump it 50 points (but that’s a lot of time to waste for a few points when you already have a great score)! The fact that you’re hispanic should help you out in the applicant pool given that only about 10% of the kids are.</p>

<p>I’m applying ED as well for either CAS or CALS! Hope to CU there! (Haha! A little Cornell humor) =)</p>

<p>haha, thanks so much. Zephyr, I am not sure what my chances are. I think my strengths are more or less in my EC’s and recs, and my weaknesses are in my gpa/ SAT, especially that SAT2. UNfortunately, Cornell, being an Ivy league, is extremely weird in admissions, and I a am freaking out.</p>
