<p>I am a male that plans to major in M.E. I live in washington state.</p>

<p>I know my test scores are weak

<p>Extracurriculars: Biotech project placed ninth at TSA Nationals (studied the usage of algae as a food and as a fuel), Designed a Flow Cytometer and we plan to create a biofuel this year, Varsity Swim team 4 years and captain 2 years, Secretary of STEM Club, Secretary of Tutor Club, and participated on an iGem team junior year</p>
<p>Recommendations: I have my recommendations and they are very good.</p>
<p>I have not started my Cornell essays but my others seem very good so I think I will have pretty good essays.</p>
<p>I feel ivy league schools are pretty random when it comes to deciding who gets in and who doesn’t. Your profile seems pretty good so far but make sure to write a strong college essay because it is one of the ultimate deciding factors. I know someone with a 2340 SAT score and 3.9 GPA but got rejected from Cornell (Most likely because of her lack of Extracurricular activities or an unfavorable College essay)</p>
<p>Your Grades/SATs are certainly competitive for Cornell.</p>
<p>The TSA national placement may help a lot.</p>
<p>I don’t think that ANYONE is a lock for Cornell, but based on what you’ve written I think you will be very competitive with an average chance for admissions.</p>
<p>You do not have a significant standing stat compared to the thousands of others going. However, if you write an extraordinary essay, you may have a chance! Unfortunately I believe Princeton is out of your league!</p>
<p>I think your Physics Sat II score is honestly the weakest part of your application especially because you are applying as an engineer. I would recommend that you retake that test or take a different science and try and score in the 700s</p>
