<p>How did you get W480??? I know they don’t look at the writing score…</p>

3

<p>LOL ummm my grammar is horrible =(</p>

4

<p>Your GPA and SATs are pretty low.
Around 0 for AEM, maybe 5% for the arts and sciences business.</p>

5

<p>lol how can you aim so high in one month prep?</p>

6

<p>That GPA and those SATs (1730 you mean, not a 1750) are killing you. Especially since you’re an Asian.</p>

7

<p>Well, in all seriousness, if you do manage to get your SAT over 2,200, then you might have a chance at them overlooking the fact that your GPA has seen a constant downward trend, since your EC’s (and tits) seem to be pretty good. You should probably also leave those AP scores off your app.</p>

8

<p>Your SAT scores and GPA will kill you. I know Cornell doesn’t make SATs a end-all factor, but you don’t have any outstanding hooks that would make up for it.</p>

<p>Rest assured that all the other competitive Asian applicants will have high SATs.
Good luck in achieving your projected 500 point jump.</p>
