<p>creative bump didn't work... :(</p>
<p>btw, personally, i think my chance is first... GIVEN by my standardizeds, reduced by my grades, and increased by my essays and recs. unfortunately... there are VERY few posts, available data for ppl in my condition, that is - high SAT, low GPA - u see more of the opposite. anyone find any data on this stuff?</p>
<p>how in the world did you get a 2400? that's amazing.
i can't even pass 2200's. :(</p>
<p>sigh... unfortunately for me, it doesn't really matter once u get past... what... 1350? 1400? for mv combined</p>
<p>SATs aren't important like u fear (or i wish) they are, ppl !!!</p>
<p>im gonna have the same problem as you...
i have a 3.6 uw gpa... and am expecting a 2300+ SAT...</p>
<p>hey it all depends on the overall package you present. i got in early with a 2220 and a 3.35 GPA. but in all honesty it was probably the ECs and essays that really helped me. if i were u id emphasize my "passions" <<<i hate using that term but most people understand it :/</p>
<p>"Cornell works in mysterious ways..."</p>
<p>I'm thinking that admissions officers just use the theoretical sliding scale for GPA vs. SAT score. This gives you something like: 3.5 and 2200; 3.7 and 2100; 4.0 and 2050. If the officers see that you hit those marks in their head, then they just go on to EC's and probably never look at those statistics again. Of course it's always nice to have the average 3.9 UW GPA, and 2100 SAT.</p>
<p>haha idc how cornell works, as long as it works in my favor :cool:</p>
<p>adcoms have been mysterious in the past...seems like theyll continue to be in the future</p>
<p>your testing looks awesome, so if your rec's and essays are good, i'd say you've got as good a chance as anyone</p>
<p>Cornell works in sadistic ways, actually :)</p>
