Chance me please!

<p>Hi can anyone tell me my chances of getting into Cornell?</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning: 730 (CR) + 740 (M) = 1470
SAT Subject Tests: Math II- 790, Lit- 730, Bio- 690
----Anyone think I shouldn't submit my biology score? It's not incredibly high, but do you think it will hurt my chances?
AP: Literature-4, Macroecon-4
National Merit Commended Student</p>

<p>My unweighted GPA was around 3.8 at my old school (9th-11th grade). But it will probably increase at my current school (I estimate around 3.9 for term 1 marks)</p>

<p>If possible, chances for Claremont Mckenna, Swarthmore or Wellesley are also welcome. (:
Thanks so much in advanced!</p>

<p>Sorry, forgot! Senior Course load: AP Calc, Chem 12, Bio 12, English Honors 12, Mandarin 12, Japanese 11-Intro, SS 11, Planning 10 (required for graduation).</p>

<p>Oh also, my mom is an alumni of Cornell. Does anyone know how much that affects your chances?</p>

<p>I think that your mom will help, but slightly. Your marks are very good and I think you have a good chance of getting in. Pretty rigorous course load. It all depends on your essay now. Good luck!</p>

<p>I’ll go with 70% chance of getting in.</p>

<p>thank you everyone!</p>

<p>No real weaknesses – your chances are as good as anyone’s.</p>
