<p>I need someone to comment on my chances :) </p>

<p>And leave ur links in the comments if u want a back chance.</p>

<p>Seems like you’ve got it in the bag to me.</p>

<p>I think your SAT scores aren’t high enough, but your ECs are great. I would say Cornell is a high reach for you. </p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1574644-please-chance-my-ed-ea-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1574644-please-chance-my-ed-ea-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My CR score is pretty scary. I already retook the SAT in november, a bit over a week to results. However did screw up. 600-650 I guess.</p>

<p>I think it is a reach due to your weak SAT. Good luck! Please chance back.</p>

<p>Haha, yes, yes it has</p>

<p>I’d say that Cornell is a low reach for you. Your stats are really good. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569738-chances-i-chance-back-3.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569738-chances-i-chance-back-3.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I would say low to mid reach. Hopefully your CR score will go up.</p>

<p>I have almost same stats as you! Cornell would be a mid reach for you.
Good luck! chance me?

<p>Chance me please!</p>

<p>Preparing FOUR A’Levels instead of 3, and having 3 predicted A*'s +1 A is amazing, and Cornell will know that. Then the big difference is made with your EC’s and essays - yourEC’s are in line with what Cornell expects and hopefully you did a great job with your essays; you’re a US citizen so not in the international pool for financial aid (which makes admissions less competitive for you); overall, things are looking good for you, but remember that still odds are 2 out of 3 qualified applicants are rejected so prepare your RD applications just in case.
Please come back to post your results :)</p>

<p>Your Ecs are pretty good. You have a lot of award from sports and Model UN, which is incredible! Also, your SAT is good, but no great. </p>

<p>Cornell: Low Match
Chance me back on my Northwestern Thread?</p>

<p>@ sergiok, can u post a link?</p>

<p>Bumpbumpbump</p>

<p>It’s around a low reach just because of Cornell’s acceptance rate. Cornell is the most lenient with ED admissions, so you do have a very good chance, especially so if you raise your CR score to the ~650 mark.</p>

<p>Have to say reach because of the low CR score. Nice ECs though, and your grades are solid too. Keep it up</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about A-levels but based on other responses they seem to be rigorous. SAT is low, subject tests are good, and ECs are good but not stand-out. I’d say Cornell’s a reach. Wish you best of luck!</p>

<p>It would be appreciated to know where I stand for the following :)</p>

<p>1) Cornell ED
2) Stanford
3) Dartmouth
4) Northwestern / Brown
5) Harvey Mudd
6) U of southern cali
7) Georgia Tech
8) U of Rochester
9) Worcester PI
10) Grinnell
11) Lafayette or Macalester
12) Depauw</p>

<p>Updated SAT score:</p>

<p>650 CR

<p>2130 COMPOSITE</p>

<p>Cornell: High match to low reach (because of your ED)
Stanford: Reach
Dartmouth: Low reach
Northwestern/Brown: Low reach
Harvey Mudd: High match to low reach
USC: Match to high match</p>
