You have all the scores. All you need now are good essays and you should have a good shot. If you really want Cornell, apply ED. Good luck~
You’re replying yourself? Troll. Not cool man.
@ssj4ditz What are you doing in Post #2?
Assuming your info is truthful (not saying it’s not but obviously, if it’s different, we won’t be able to predict accurately).
You have the numbers, but your ECs lack leadership. Remember that there are plenty of 2400s/4.0 and Ivies are looking for unique students to comprise their classes. That being said, Cornell is probably the easiest Ivy to get into, so I’d saw high match/low reach.
Why are you even posting this? Everyone one who applies has stats like yours but you are what we call the triple threat, and all triple threats get in. Its what makes you stand out; Musician, athlete and scholar. If you don’t get in punch me in the face and call me *****.
@EIC2400 No it isn’t LOL. Its obviously Dartmouth
@DaedricSaiyan Also go for some more colleges I recommend Caltech and MIT. There is no harm in trying with your stats!
Sorry I mean OP sorry @deadricsaiyan
Sorry for the blunder everyone lol I left my computer on and my brother saw this post and wrote the reply to make me look like a fool XD i came back after just now and saw it and can’t remove it x.x Sorry again.
Thank you for all the feedback.
@EIC2400 I’m planning to ED Cornell. I’ll try writing good essays that exemplify leadership, as you’re right in that most of my extracurrics lack that.
