<p>I think my grades in school and test grades are relatively good but I'm a little worried if I'll have to boost my SAT I scores a little more. I don't know if my lack of extracurriculars will also affect my acceptance into the school. Also, I would like to know how generous Cornell is with their Financial Aid. Please give me some feedback!</p>

<p>Admission to engineering is quite numbers based. Your SAT score is thus a fairly large pitfall. You don’t have very many AP exam scores either.</p>

<p>Cornell: reach</p>

<p>Consider U of M, G Tech</p>

<p>^ I hope you don’t mean UMich, as it is a reach too. SAT 2030 is the 25% for LSA, engineering is around 50-100 points higher. In other words, it is below the 25% for CoE.</p>

<p>My suggestion for match school would be Purdue.</p>
