<p>Recs (never read any of them, just guessing):
counselor- ok, she doesnt know me too well
rec 1- pretty good
rec 2- pretty good</p>

<p>Essasy:
decent? i not that good of a essay writer</p>

<p>***the class rank is at my current high school and most of my grades that are factored into the gpa that determines class rank was directed converted from my former hs i went to fresh/soph yrs, and cuz of the harder grading system at my former hs the class rank tends to underrepresent my academic performance relative to my class.</p>

<p>any honest input would be very helpful!</p>

<p>Kids like you are a dime a dozen. No ECs that stand out, at all. I hope you did your essay well because that is what would set you apart.</p>

<p>idk, I think you have a decent shot. i was pretty impressed by your stats, but I just wish you had something that set you apart from all the other Asians who are into engineering, math, and don't excel as much at english.</p>

<p>do you play the glockenspiel?</p>

<p>thanks guys
and i know, my ECs are probably the weakest part of my app but i do have some minor leadership positions...just too lazy to list out all the details about my ECs. i also have some other school awards i havent listed here on cc</p>

<p>It's going to depend on your recs. More than 25% of all acceptances are to kids with an 800 SAT Math, so Cornell's definitely looking beyond the numbers to figure out what a student is really like.</p>

<p>more than 25% have 800M SATI Scores?
wow.
I just want to get the letter now. i need to take a break from this website. it's best not to dedicate so much time thinking about something that will end sourly.</p>
