<p>I got 3 letters of recommendation from teachers that have known me for a while. Hoping my essay will be nice. I have to take subject tests in Math II and Bio M, so hopefully those will go well. Just wanted to know if I have a decent chance, since it is an Ivy and tough to get into. Thanks.</p>

<p>You have a very good chance.</p>

3

<p>Thanks, does anyone know what a good score range for subject tests would be?</p>

4

<p>For subject tests, I’d think scores around 700 won’t hurt or help you much, but aim above that if you want them to help you. I really hope you get in because you are a step above me in tests/EC’s, and I think you will get in.</p>

5

<p>You definitely have a chance, however RD engineering is extremely competitive, especially if you’re a male, so it’s impossible to say for you whether you will probably get in or not.</p>

6

<p>Yeah I read somewhere on CC that the acceptance rate is around 17% for males. Ugh, I wish Cornell had an EA option and not just ED and RD. Drummer, I hope we both get in!</p>

7

<p>^ sounds like you’re applying ED somewhere else and Cornell is a back-up for you…don’t make that obvious in your application! They don’t like that…</p>

8

<p>Not doing ED anywhere, don’t want to be binded to one school. </p>

<p>Bump!</p>
