<p>Cornell: low reach
your ECs are great, but try raising your test scores if you can</p>

<p>Can you post a breakdown of your SAT score? To be honest, a 2000 is a little too low for Cornell; it’s at or below 25%. The only way you could have a real chance is if you had something else in your app to make up for it, and I’m not really sure whether your high grades and ECs will be enough. Although that research project and the summer program do look pretty impressive. In my opinion, you’ll have a decent chance at Cornell if you can write a great essay that highlights your interest in science, and hope that your teachers also point it out in their rec letters.</p>

<p>Here’s the breakdown of my SAT score
CR-650
Math-650
Writing-700</p>

<p>Thank’s for the input so far! I know my scores are lower than normal for a school like Cornell but I’m hoping my EC will help make up for it.</p>

<p>Which college in Cornell are you applying to?</p>

<p>I’m assuming NOT CoE because they require you to take SAT II Math II or SAT II Math I.</p>

<p>If CAS, then it’s going to be a reach (both CR & M are below the average there).
If CoE, even bigger reach (your M is about 100 points below average for their). Also you MUST take a Math SAT subject test if you’re applying to CoE.</p>

<p>Your ECs are fine but nothing that will guarantee you admission - I don’t see much that’s special to be honest.</p>

<p>I’m applying to CAS</p>

<p>In that case, it’s still going to be a reach.</p>

<p>What is your IB Predicted and is it listed on your transcript? Cornell seems to love IB students from a few statistics I found online.</p>

8

<p>My Total IB predicted is 39 (listed on my transcript)</p>

<p>Thanks for the help so far! I wasn’t aware Cornell had a preference for IB(Statistically)</p>

<p>Correction: 39/45</p>

<p>That is a pretty huge reach.</p>
