Chances for Cornell 2016...

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>my friend just got admitted to Cornell ED last week and now I'm starting to feel nervous since I know I'll be applying ED next year two.. Her dad graduated with my dad from Cornell, so I do have a legacy too (CAS).. I'm not relying on it, but I do hope it helps.. ps i'm a junior if you havent caught on yet.</p>

<p>Stats</p>

<p>SAT I: 2130
(Don't have SAT II yet) </p>

<p>Class Rank: Don't know exactly yet, but somewhere in between top 10-12 %.</p>

<p>GPA: UW 91 Idk about weighted, our school does it odd. I figure class rank is more important anyway.</p>

<p>ECs: Class President (9-12)
National Honor Society
Pep Club President
Ski Racing
Professional Ski Instructor (through PSIA for those who are familiar) since 8th grade
Lifeguard since 2009</p>

<p>...Then the big one.. I'm serving as a Congressional Page this summer in the US House.. I'm hoping that this might carry alot of weight. For those not familiar with it, about 70 kids from the country are selected each term to live in DC and work in the US House of Reps.</p>

<p>APs:
Sophomore- AP US (4)
Junior- AP Language & Comp, AP US Gov, AP French Language
Senior- AP Lit, AP Euro, AP Stats, </p>

<p>My Freshmen year wasn't bad, but then I went through a sophomore slump... My grades are back up now and my rank is still between the top 40 and like 60 out of 420. around top 10%</p>

<p>So hopefully my strong points will be legacy, House page program, and at least top 10%...</p>

<p>So what do you think?! I appreciate it:)</p>

<p>..i think i included everything.</p>

<p>you gotta get in the top 10% dude, thats gonna be big. but legacy will help a lot. Try to nail the SAT II’s and for the SAT I if you feel like you can do better, you should retake it to get a 2200+ because that will help a lot. And keep up for your grades this year, because junior year is the most important. Are you sure your not going to take more AP’s senior year? </p>

<p>As it stands right now, assuming you apply to CAS, i would say ~40% chance you get in. (Legacy is gonna keep you afloat)
I’m not an expert though so don’t read too much into this chance.</p>
