Colleges & Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Now that I've applied and there's nothing I can do to change it lol, just wondering my chances</p>

<p>SAT: M 570 CR 690 W 650
ACT: 29
GPA: 3.96 (unweighted) 4.5 (weighted), but my school doesn't weight them :(</p>

<p>Classes: I started Duel enrollment at a university the summer after my Sophomore year and by the time I graduate I'll have a taken 17 classes for 57 credits and I will graduate with an Associates of Science.
Oh I also took AP History-4 and an honors classes at my high school.</p>

<p>I've got like 800 hrs Volunteering in Wildlife Rehabilitation (over 4 years), some other little extra curriculars, oh and Martial arts mid-way to Black Belt.</p>

<p>I'm from Utah, so hoping that might help? but I'm Female Caucasian, High school is pretty pathetic public... hence the college classes </p>

<p>So, any guesses or am I just gonna have to wait and see?</p>

<p>Your SAT and ACT are on the low side</p>

<p>What college are you applying to?</p>

3

<p>I hope you spent a lot of time talking about volunteering in your app…</p>

4

<p>Yea, the SAT is a bit low, but you have a lot of volunteer hours and that shows you are active in your community. If you get an interview, you could also talk about the duel enrollment, as well as your experiences taking those classes. Btw, where r u applying to?</p>

5

<p>Yes, you do have an usual app. Like others said, focus on volunteering in the app. Whatever you did, it must have been worthwhile to have you spend 800 hours on it.</p>

6

<p>Uh, Cornell… :slight_smile: wasn’t that obvious? Anyway, from the stats online I’m on the low side of the 50th percentile, but still in it. I’m also applying to Columbia, NYU, and some safety/match schools.</p>

7

<p>No, they mean which schools in Cornell? CALS for example.</p>

8

<p>lol You always know who hasn’t researched applying to Cornell when they can’t tell you what college they are applying to.</p>

9

<p>you may have just added yourself to the 2000 or so kids who do not list the college they are applying to and therefore are immediately rejected</p>

10

<p>Your SAT and ACT are low, but if you were able to demonstrate fit for your major, I think you stand a chance. You have a lot of volunteer hours, so I hope you emphasized that in your application. Did you take any SAT 2s (if the college you applied to requires them)? I hope you designated a college in your application. Or else, you unfortunately have no chance at gaining admission to Cornell (last year, 1006 applicants made this mistake. 0 were accepted).</p>

11

<p>With AS, would you still be considered as a freshman</p>

12

<p>I looked that up. Apparently if you are a dual-enrollment student and when you apply you have still not graduated HS, you are considered a freshmen.</p>

<p>She wouldn’t be able to get transfer credit for all of those.
So she will have to start over in terms of credits/classes and will just graduate with a B.X. and her A.S. </p>

<p>Although I am not positive about this.</p>

13

<p>Oh, no I put the college :slight_smile: CALS, Environmental studies major, is there a big difference between the colleges?</p>

14

<p>SAT II were a little low Hist. 670 and Biology 670, by the way, I took Biology my sophomore year, it was pathetic, so I basically learned all of that test within a month. I’m proud of my score. Wish there was some way to put that on an application…</p>
