<p>It looks like you have solid scores, solid ECs, and a solid GPA. If you write a good essay, you will be a very competitive applicant. The essay is the most important part of the application. The stats only matter passed 3.75 GPA, 2050 SAT, 30 ACT, and 2100 SAT II. You should be fine.
Chance me?

<p>I think that you have a good shot at your schools. With your scores and grades, you will have a solid application, especially with good essays and recs.</p>

<p>Everything looks great. GPA is pretty high as well. Your Sat IIs are amazing.</p>

<p>Cornell CALS (Likely Accepted)–But you are Asian so you never know. Competition is tough
University of Rochester–Accepted
University of Michigan–Accepted
NYU–Likely Accepted (Tough Competition)
Boston University–Accepted
University of Pittsburgh–Accepted
Sunys–Accepted</p>

<p>No Worries. You’ll get into a great college no matter what.</p>

<p>Chance Me Please?

<p>agreed, you’re stats are great. just really bring out your interests in your essay and cornell shouldn’t be a long shot. CALS is my top pick too, i’m not sure about ED and you’re better off than me lol</p>

<p>Yeah, I think Cornell should be a match if you make your profile stand out through recommendations, essays, and interview.</p>

<p>Do chance back:

<p>In for all, not too sure about cornell</p>

<p>You have the ECs and grades but the SAT Score… it’s great still and you definitely have a shot</p>

<p>i’d say its a low reach</p>

<p>chance me? :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Cornell is the only one I see that would give any trouble really. Chance me? My topic is “What Cance Do I Have”</p>

<p>Fine at Rochester, Pittsburgh, and the SUNYs. Boston and NYU are high match schools - I see financial aid / scholarships being more of an issue than getting accepted. I have a friend at NYU who forks out 30K a year. (I don’t know your financial situation though)</p>

<p>And of course, any Ivy is a reach for anyone.</p>

<p>Good luck with the Admissions cycle!</p>

<p>@prince i cant find ur thread</p>

14

<p>From what I can tell, good ECs, solid GPA (& probably rank too), amazing SAT II’s, good SAT I’s.</p>

<p>& far as I know, Cornell does not look at writing. So with a 1440/1600, I’d say it’d be a low to mid reach (since it is very competitive). NYU might be high match at most, simply out of the competitiveness as well. Everywhere else, I’d say very good chances, all matches to low matches.</p>

15

<p>Cornell should be within your reach, your stats are quite impressive. All of your other schools are definite acceptances most likely.</p>

16

<p>Hey we have some of interests and schools, haha Asian football players UNITE. What position do you play?
You’re pretty much in at Pitt and you have a great chance at Rochester. Cornell is a low reach, but it all looks good to me!
