<p>you have a pretty good shot if you do early decision, you got a decent shot for regular decision as well... also just because your school doesnt send your unweighted GPA doesn't mean that's what admissions officers are going to be looking at, they recalculate your GPA to make it unweighted or have some other system that puts everyones GPA on the same scale...</p>
<p>I'd call Cornell a bit of a reach with those SATs, assuming the ED admission rate is roughly the same come next time. Raise your SATs, I'd recommend.</p>
<p>Cornell is not a scores driven school - although it looks like you have the minimum SAT score to get a look (try to bring them up). It's more important for you to build a strong case for admission by showing passion for something. Faculty members read the apps. My son was rejected with high scores and GPA and so were many of his friends. Others who got in had relatively pretty low scores but were exceptional in art or some other area. Work hard on those essays!</p>
<p>I agree that Cornell isn't exactly score driven, but their average SATs and middle 50%s are pretty high. Either the pool is very self selective or the scores mean a lot.</p>
<p>The three kids who got in from my son's school all had "low" scores (in the 1300s). And lots of rejections with high scores. May be just the case in this one school - but was a surprise. The point is that you should still try, even if you can't hit a high score.</p>
