<p>(i just found out some scores/added some stuff to the resume-checkzor it out)</p>

<p>hey guys im a hispanic junior and im trying to see if i have the stats that could possibly lead up to an acceptance to the Cornell...just evaulate thanks</p>

<p>[EDIT]:Before you guys read my stats id just like to mention that Cornell has been my dream school since i went there this summer and observed the diversity and the rich culture of Cornell. For example i played soccer with Cornell students who were black,white,hispanic,and Asian which kind of gave me the feeling that Cornell is extremely diverse in its student body. I would love to have that. The campus is beautiful and considering i live in NY it seems like the perfect fit for what i would like. I'd also like to mention that my school sent 12 ED to cornell last year alone, meaning that we have a great relationship with Cornell in terms of admissions. K thanks guys.</p>

<p>bump?!!!????</p>

<p>I don't think that you'll have much of a problem getting into Cornell.</p>

4

<p>Dad is Egyptian and mom from from Peru, Habibi, do you speak Arabic and Spanish? Lol, you're technically African American and Hispanic, but I think you're overdoing the urm status (mom from peru...). You have good stats and such, and urm status helps a lot, I think Cornell is a very good possibility.</p>

5

<p>what do you mean by overdoing the urm status</p>

6

<p>if you got a 770 on your math 2 sat II then the amc should be a breeze. i got a 108 on it when i was in honors algebra II.. lol.</p>

7

<p>Too much empahsis on it. We know you're a minority. That's pretty much what matters on the urm part.</p>

8

<p>well, your dad is egyptian. in terms of college admission, arabs are considered white. why don't you mark that?</p>

9

<p>IMO AMC is harder than AIME
i barely scored 120 on the AMC12 but then i scored 9 on the AIME even though i left an hour early..thought i didnt hv a chance to qualify..stupid me...but my point it...AMC is harder than AIME if u r disorganized and careless like me</p>

10

<p>oh im sorry...i just wanted to put emphasis so you guys knew what i meant...and about the putting white on the app....i definetely am more in touch with my hispanic side of the family rather than my arabic side as in i hardly know my dads siblings/kids or anyone else in his family that i could get to know is deceased...i know both arabic and spanish fluently but at home i speak only english and spanish....also i spend all of my holidays with my hispanic side and my interests definetely revolve around latino culture...so i figured id put the choice that best reflects me...im proud to be arab though no doubt haha.</p>

11

<p>bump?????!?!?!?</p>

12

<p>nope, amc is not harder than the aime. i got a 108 on the amc and a measly 3 on the aime (but i was a freshman so oh well) so yeah, definitely go for it, you'll probably qualify for the aime no problem.</p>

13

<p>bump bump bump more chancois?</p>

14

<p>bumpin to the top</p>

15

<p>AMC is only easy if u hv a careful mind...yet AIME is easy if u hv the brain....</p>
