Chance this pitiful child..

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm a scared to death little boy trying to get into Cornell.
I deserve a good beating just for posting this preposterous 'chance me' thread, since I am already aware that I will need an incredible amount of luck to get in...</p>

<p>I go to a public school in Connecticutt.
Yes I know lots of Yale people who always accidentally
reminds me that I will never be able to get in there.</p>

<p>SAT I:
Writing 690 (I bombed it. Yes. I don't deserve to live.)
Reading 710 (ditto)
Math 800 (only reason why I didn't get kicked out of the house and forced to apply to Univ. McDonlad and major in hamburgerlogy. Dad always hinted that I would do 'just fine writing about identifying burger side A from side B')</p>

<p>SAT II:
Haven't taken them yet. Yes I know I should get bludgeoned to death with a golf club. I tend to be scared to death and do stuff at the last minute.
I will be taking Literature, US History, and Math I.
I expect at least 700s on all.</p>

<p>Took/Taking 6 AP total. Took all honors and so forth.
Rank: In Top 10% (out of 325 people)
our school does ambiguous thing, only telling us what percentage we are in. I think I do about 20th.</p>

<p>GPA- round about 3.8 </p>

<p>Didn't do any sports. I was too dumb to try anything.
Spanish/Asian club, NHS, NMHS, Model UN,
Math Team and Orchestra </p>

<p>Did secretary job in Spanish, Asian club, NHS, and NMHS.
Expecting to be the president of Spanish club this year.
I was never much of a leader figure...hope that counts..
Concertmaster of the orchestra.
Did some community service (249)</p>

<p>God I look like typical Asian kid.</p>

<p>Aiming for College of Arts and Science.
Doing something in line of Government.</p>

<p>Cornell is my dream, my life, my purpose of existence.
Not just because because my arrogant who goes there
said that I can never ever go to such prestigious school
but because I truly love it from my heart.</p>

<p>If it is possible, I'd sell my self to Cornell University.</p>

<p>I didn't even start my application on all the other schools, but kept on editing Cornell essay.
I don't care if Yale or Princeton or Harvard folks give me
a full scholarship and a suite room. I must go to Cornell
or just not go to college at all....</p>

<p>I LOVE CORNELL </p>

<p>Oh. And yesterday was my birthday...Turned 18.
And this is my first post.</p>

<p>p.s. if you happen to read this post and figure out who I am, as I am aware that there are some of my friends out here, please don't try to talk to me about it.
I know I told you guys that I was all set with college and stuff, but I lied. Because I am an insecure little boy who just hides stuff and cry when I don't get a response from the e-mail I sent to a Cornell student/graduate.</p>

<p>You are waaaaay too hard on yourself. Just some FYI...Cornell doesn't look at your SAT writing section score.</p>

3

<p>agreed please just chill out, getting into cornell will not necesarily spell out happiness in life no matter how much you want it.</p>

4

<p>You do look like a typical applicant and you probably have a typical applicant's chances (20%). I'd get working on those other apps if I were you.</p>

5

<p>Really? Cornell doesn't look at Sat writing? But they do look at ACT writing?</p>

6

<p>Even if you don't get in, there's transfer which is easier.</p>

7

<p>Ed and you have a good chance...btw I like your jokes about hamburgers.</p>

<p>What a coincidence, me too.</p>

9

<p>....it wasn't a joke...</p>

10

<p>your reading score is awfully low compared to math (considering you want to major in government) </p>

<p>i cant see you as standing out other than the math...</p>

11

<p>please calm down.
you don't deserve a beating and it is not necessary to say so many bad things about yourself. it serves no purpose and might feel better if you didn't.</p>

<p>Cornell is a great place but there are tons of other great places on Earth.
do not worship a school.</p>

<p>your chances are pretty decent too.
but that does not change the fact that you need to take it easy!</p>

12

<p>I know someonw who got in ED
He's your average asain kid too.
so no worry,
just relax,
breathe....</p>

<p>An acceptance or rejection doesn't define who you are.</p>

13

<p>chill out bro, seriously. it's not healthy.</p>

14

<p>What can we tell you that you don't already know? You are the epitome of the typical Asian applicant: orchestra, not much leadership or innovation, lots of APs, low Verbal score and sky-high Math score. You might get in, but the odds are against it (especially in this year's ultra-competitive admissions). I believe you may be a troll, but I'm not certain, so I won't say nasty things to you (yet).</p>

<p>If you want to get into Cornell, you better work it, dear neurotic Asian-and-or-troll.</p>

15

<p>a late happy b-day first=)
my opinion is cornell, actually, care less about your scores than they do on your personality. your score is just ENOUGH, no worry on that
think about essays</p>

<p>That doesn't bode well for the OP.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. I feel much better now. I will just have to ace the SAT II and SAT I retake(SAT I retake on november, which would be past the ED deadline, but then again, there's always Regular decision). I was just hoping to get into Cornell on ED, that's why I was a bit worried about the whole thing...Again, thank you for the helpful comments. I won't give up!</p>

18

<p>My neighbor got in with lower reading and writing scores, so you have a better chance. Plus, you should ED cause that highly boosts your chances (my neighbor applied ED btw).</p>

19

<p>you're sooooo dramatic, but i can understand the pressure =/ u have chances tho..huge chances cuz writing rlly doesn't matter.</p>

20

<p>you could try ED then take the November test and send the scores. if you didn't get in they've have a new set of scores for you during RD. you might want to call and make sure this is exactly how it works, but it makes sense to me.</p>

<p>I showed the personality of a twig in my essay, and somehow they let me in. and yes, my scores were above average but maybe I had good recs, or they liked my activities...I can only speculate.</p>
