<p>btw im a male because that makes a difference for engineering</p>

<p>You have reasonable/ good ecs and great class rank but you gotta up that SAT score. Your chances as of now depends on how much those other areas may make up for your SAT score so right now imo your chances are not that great, but you have an okay chance. Upping that SAT score will help you a huuuuge deal. Being male doesn’t make it easier for you to get in engineering.</p>

<p>yeah i was commenting because male is harder for engineering as compared to female</p>

<p>I really do suggest you retake your SATs if you have the chance. Those scores would put you at or probably below the 25th percentile in engineering school at least. If you applied ED I think you have more realistic of a chance.</p>

6

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>I hear Cornell has a strong anti-gay policy so if you want to get in I’d hope that your application doesn’t sound as gay as you do. Swimming? Water polo? Seriously? You might as well say you’re president of GSA too while you’re at it.</p>

<p>lololololol</p>

9

<p>any legitimate comments?</p>

10

<p>i lol’d at that
but for any worried applicant looking at this and seeing this as more than a joke, seriously Cornell does not shun the LGBT community.</p>

<p>Thanks for ur opinion Antiflamer</p>

<p>Still laughing in the most politically-correct way I can…</p>

<p>If it makes you feel better, you have better stats than I do. Good luck!</p>
