Chance me please? Cornell/Berkeley/USC

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>OK, so I am extremely nervous about apply to Cornell. Am I silly for even thinking I have a chance?</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are if I have the following stats.</p>

<p>Academics:
Transfer student from Texas
52 semester credits (68 after Spring 2013)
3.94 GPA
Member of Honor Society Phi Theta Kappa
Recipient of Scholarship for Business Students</p>

<p>Extra Circular:
President of Student Government
Public Relations Secretary for Phi Theta Kappa
Full-time employment as a Sales Associate at At&t</p>

<p>The kicker is though, is that I have never taken the ACT/SAT.
And high school grades were pathetic, but as I noted in my essays I did not take high school seriously. I have since discovered what it means to value an education and I hope that it shows in my GPA. </p>

<p>What do you think?
Also, I am applying for the Economics.</p>

<p>What I am insecure about is the fact that I have not yet taken Calculus or a Foreign Language. Am I over-thinking it, or is this important?</p>

<p>I think its worth a shot for sure, your grades are very good, and you will probably get into 1 of the 3. What school are you transferring from? Do colleges not want test scores for transfer students? I would add a couple safety/match schools to the list too. Best of Luck!</p>

<p>These schools do not require SAT/ACT if you have more than X amount of transfer credits. Which I do. I am transferring from a Community college in Texas called Tarrant County College. My safety schools are the other UC’s like San Diego, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara and UCLA.</p>

<p>It sounds like you’re in a great position then :). The UC’s are all great schools. some of which you are bound to get into, and others which you have a chance at. I hope you’re happy with wherever you end up :).</p>

<p>Absolutely no shot at Cornell without standardized tests unless you have alumnus blood dating back ten generations that all still donate 1m+ every month. Good luck.</p>
