<p>“hypnotherapy?” So cool. I need some of that waiting for my own ED decision :smile: </p>

<p>PS: Sorry I’m not into the chance-me game but I like reading profiles anyway, and your’s is impressive for sure.</p>

<p>“If you apply, you got a chance, if you don’t, then you don’t”, that’s my motto :slight_smile: Good luck to you.</p>

<p>there’s nothing u can do now. But wow your EC’s tho.</p>

<p>And yes. it is dif. for internationals cause you’re versing people from around the world with stellar stats. It’s harder :/. But if u were a domestic applicant, I say I wouldn’t be surprised if you got in. that’s my opinion tho, not cornell’s</p>

<p>Haha thank you @AcceptmeED :slight_smile: I know that the IB ED Acceptance rate is pretty high so fingers crossed. Do you know the % by any chance? thank you :slight_smile: </p>

5

<p>@quartzz haha thank you for your insight anyway and bothering to reply :slight_smile: </p>

6

<p>you don’t seem like an amazing candidate. did you have no opportunities for AP classes? Your SAT is average for Cornell.</p>

<p>@whuffy I’m actually an international applicant from India. I go to an IB World School so no, we do not have any AP classes, only IB, which is considered to be one of the hardest courses in the world and getting anywhere near a 38 and above is fantastic :slight_smile: I know my SAT scores are only average, but I hope to make that up with my ECs :)</p>

8

<p>Also, just so I clarify, HL stands for Higher Level and SL stands for Standard Level. Most students take 3 HLs and I’ve taken 4.</p>

9

<p>Your IB grades are amazing, esp with 4 HLs! You should have a good chance of getting in, however your SAT I might be holding you back a bit, since most people who apply to Ivy leagues have very high SATs. I have a friend who applied 2 years ago, he had 2300+ SAT and 43 IB, but got rejected after the interview, he got into UChicago in the end, so it’s tough for every person. hope this helps!</p>

<p>@cedartreee thank you haha :slight_smile: I know my SAT is only on the average end which was worrying me, but fingers crossed anyway :)</p>

11

<p>Wow i think you will be accepted…</p>

<p>A girl from our school with 41 predicted mark and 2010 SAT got in through ed last year…</p>

<p>good luck…! decisions will be out on the 12th </p>

<p>@kiwiyoyo wow thank you haha :slight_smile: Was she an international student though? Because I live in India and wanted to know if this would impact it any differently. </p>

13

<p>@12345n well… she’s british but she has an american passport</p>

14

<p>@kiwiyoyo Oh okay thank you :slight_smile: I’m just banking on the fact that IB acceptance rate is much higher :)</p>

15

<p>your extracurriculars are pretty good and your scores are probably a low reach but I think you have a chance at cornell</p>

16

<p>where does it say that ib students have a higher % chance of getting in ED for Cornell? What about RD?</p>

17

<p>I saw it on a pdf link. wait. <a href=“http://dasd-sharepoint.dasd.org/Schools/STEMAcademy/Documents/IB_University_Acceptance_Rates.pdf”>http://dasd-sharepoint.dasd.org/Schools/STEMAcademy/Documents/IB_University_Acceptance_Rates.pdf&lt;/a&gt; :slight_smile: I’m not sure about RD though</p>

18

<p>Oh yeah, I’ve seen this as well. Idk if that’s for ED though. I think it’s just an overall acceptance rate.</p>

19

<p>It really depends on how competitive your high school is, since there’s not a GPA?? but I think your extra curricular actvities are excellent</p>

<p>@teenagecrime‌ It’s an international IB school so it’s pretty competitive. Thanks for your insight :)</p>
