<p>Female, senior
Double legacy
At least top 10% of graduating class.</p>
<p>SAT Scores: 700 (writing), 720 (CR), 570 (math)
SAT II: 690 (US History), 680 (Literature)</p>
<p>All AP or honors classes.</p>
<p>Lots of community service/ extracurricular activites.</p>
<p>I’d say 70% chance of getting in. </p>
<p>If you were my definitive about your class rank, I think it’d be a bit more, but because you’re a double legacy, your scores are pretty impressive, and (I’m assuming you’ve gotten pretty much all A’s) your GPA is good, you should get in. :P</p>
<p>Yeah. Your SAT scores are a bit low.</p>
<p>in my school top 10% = big possibiliity of getting in (out of 400 students), and esp. since ur a double legacy! but ur SAT scores are a little low so depends on ur extra curriculars</p>
<p>ooh can u chance mee please

<p>thanks for responding 
anyone else?</p>
<p>Probably in, but SATs may hurt a tad.</p>
<p>I would say that you’ve got a 7 in 10 chance.</p>
<p>that’s actually kind of surprising.
does cornell favor legacys?
(i mean more than most other schools)</p>
<p>I predict a polite deferral</p>
<p>I think you will be accepted with a double legacy. Otherwise, I think it would be a reach.</p>
<p>gpa? ap scores? would you mind to list some of ur main ecs?</p>
<p>Sure. I’m taking AP Psychology, Biology, US History, and Comp Lit.
GPA is not in yet but its around a 3.8 unweighted.</p>
<p>I’m editor of school newspaper, have played the viola/violin for 13+ years, VP of my youth group, write for a literary magazine, take photography… the usual.</p>
<p>I’m also in the National Honor Society/ The Spanish National Honor Society… won various academic honors… ya know.</p>
<p>I would say light reach- because of legacy status, you really need to get the SAT II and SAT scored up</p>
<p>which school at Cornell are you considering applying to? (and depending on the school, what do you want to major in there?)</p>
<p>those things can make a difference in Cornell chances. They might not really care about your math score much in some of the programs.</p>
<p>That’s the thing…
I’d be applying for the college of arts and sciences, which is the most competitive.
So that won’t help.
But I’m looking at a major in writing/english (or at least nothing with an emphasis on math), so I’m hoping that the admissions officers will overlook that little unslightly pimple on my resume.</p>
<p>Your SAT scores are a bit low for the Ivies.
From the looks of it though, your GPA is strong, as well as your EC’s.
The double legacy is obviously a plus - but I’d say your 50/50 for admission.</p>
<p>According to the U.S. News college guide you have a 25% chance of being accepted just like the 20,000 other people who will be applying for admission. Good luck!</p>
<p>Yupp.
Although technically 25% is a misleading number for out-of-staters.</p>
<p>You probably have a little higher than 25% of a chance because you are a double legacy but it is best not to get your hopes up. You probably stand a better chance at being admitted than most people but college admissions has just become so unpredictable. I really do wish you good luck b/c I’m just as nervous about getting accepted into the colleges I applied to as you are.</p>
