Chances for Admission

<p>I'm a sophmore going into my Junior year at a small private school in FL. I did swich schools after my Freshman year because of a move (both schools I have been at are private schools. I am ahead of my grade level in thinking about college, but It's never to early!</p>

<p>EC's are a little generic...raise your SAT above 2200...try to get that gpa up, and dont apply ED to Cornell unless you know for a fact thats the school for you</p>

<p>Man, how many forums did you post this in?</p>

<p>You forgot Yale. Might as well add it since you seem to have just picked up a copy of USnews and decided to appy to the top 10 to 20 schools. Do you even care what these schools are like, or is prestige all that matters?</p>

<p>it's a bit early to tell.....</p>

<p>Yeah I think its kinda early also, but its good that you are concerned already. You shouldn't apply to Cornell earily because you will most likey get into a couple of the top schools, and you still have the safeties. So I would risk it if I were you.</p>
