<p>Hi! My name is sam! This is my second senior year, bc last year i didnt get into cornell - this year i focused on softball in hope of a scholarship. here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.1
SATs: cr- 480 m- 550 w- 490
ive taken 3 honors</p>
<p>i do sooooo much extra curriculars, and my teacher recs are amazing. obviously, im really good at softball</p>
<p>i seriously love cornell so much. what are my chances? be honest</p>
<p>LOL is this a joke or is it a serious chance thread?</p>
<p>seriously, they told me to do a second senior year and theyd re-evaluate. im seriously so good at softball</p>
<p>You'd have to have been recruited specifically for the softball team, to compensate those test scores.</p>
<p>But, I don't think you're being serious...</p>
<p>am i that bad?</p>
<p>your IQ is probably kinda low... that's probably why you don't even get recruited... or know what it is...</p>
<p>first of all, cool name. secondly, my ique is higher than yours...</p>
<p>cornell wants me, i know i can play with the s-ball girlz there. i just knowwww i can keep up!</p>
<p>Just understand that the majority of people you're competing with have at least a 2100 SAT, with outstanding SATII's (I don't often see any below the 700 level on chance threads). </p>
<p>For example, back in 10th grade I pulled a 2200 on the SAT (760M/750R/690W). Now, I could've taken it again this year and probably scored a very high 2300 if not a perfect score (I got a mid 230 on my PSAT just last year). But I decided it wasn't worth it, because my SAT's weren't what was going to make or break my application. But still, had my SAT been any lower, I would've taken it again, because SAT scores are a big banner that displays things about you. For example, it's much more common to see a perfect SAT score paired with a low GPA (and by low, I mean 3.3 or 3.4) than a low SAT score paired with a 4.0 GPA (UW). </p>
<p>Do you understand what I'm trying to say?</p>
<p>i have a boyfriend who wants to go to ithaca and he's not as smart as me. do you think he can get in? james? he has a 3.0 and is in all ap classes. atleast he's got looks.</p>
<p>uh. i understand you're cockie</p>
<p>I'm really not cocky... If I were cocky, I'd post a chance thread so I could brag about my resume. But that's not why I came to these forums.</p>
<p>All I'm trying to tell you is that Cornell is an Ivy League school and draws some very competitive applicants, and I think it's important to make sure you know what type of competition you're up against. </p>
<p>By all means, I wish you the best of luck with your application.</p>
<p>you have a 1520/2400..that basically means no shot...first...softball isnt even that important..they wont die to have you...second..according to a princeton studies, athletic recruit gives u an equivalent of 200 points handicap on the SATs...that basically bumps you up to 1720..that's still not anywhere close to the 25th percentile...</p>
<p>Alright, he/she/it is clearly kidding. </p>

<p>Nobody who can figure out how to register at CC would spell IQ in such a fashion. Lets just ignore this thread and move on.</p>
<p>dude excellent SATs, GPAs, and ECs. apply to all ivy leage</p>
<p>No. Seriously i am applying as a hotelie and I only have better test scores. I don't think that this is the way that someone with "average stats" should be treated. I believe that if you were convincing in your essay that Cornell would do great things for you, you may have a shot at getting in. Good Luck.</p>
<p>I really hope sports aren't THAT important to admissions.....that seems a little over the top...and unfair to many of us...</p>
<p>guaranteed admittance, just relax</p>
<p>i think you're definitely in, they should be begging you to come</p>
<p>athletes can really get in anywhere if a coach wants you, you only need a 1000 on your sats if your gpa is 2.0 or higher so def have a shot if your going to play softball there good luck!</p>
