<p>National HonorSociety isn’t going to affect you too much since many people do it.</p>

5

<p>..but even so, leaving it out can imply an honor violation</p>

<p>getting caught cheating, sexual harrasment, etc</p>

6

<p>your Math IIC is kinda low, but it doesnt even matter.</p>

<p>youre pretty much a match. cornell is pretty stats-based</p>

7

<p>wait, so meatmountain, r u saying, if you dont have at least a 2200 on sat and grades like that, they wont even consider anything else, like teacher recs and such?</p>

8

<p>and math II C is low? woah....did u take it meatmountain? and wat did u get?</p>

<p>no...dont worry HUCKIT, anythings possible(positively) with ur scores.....anyways, whether its a bad thing or not, in another thread i heard that cornell's SAT averages for the incoming classes are lowering or sumthin...i dunno</p>

9

<p>His IIC is a 770! lol, that's near 800. I highly doubt 30 points will make that much of a difference.</p>

<p>You're very well rounded with a nice SAT and GPA. Your only problem now is to figure out which UNDERGRAD school you want to attend, LOL.</p>

<p>and just as a sidenote, I'm president of my school's FBLA chapter. :)</p>

10

<p>wait...XEAL, is the FBLA reference supposed to be an inside joke...just curious</p>

11

<p>well, I didn't intend it to be, lol. It's just a very large national club.</p>

12

<p>"..but even so, leaving it out can imply an honor violation</p>

<p>getting caught cheating, sexual harrasment, etc"</p>

<p>Harumph! The only reason I'm not in National Honor is because my parents didn't want to pay the $25 membership fee</p>

13

<p>haha, your parents are cheap, lol.</p>
