<p>Your only glaring problem is the SAT, since you’ll be competing against other internationals. Otherwise, you’re definitely a strong applicant.</p>

4

<p>Any more response?</p>

<p>bu,p bum[kjhjk</p>

<p>Yea it’s just your SATs that are low that would cause you any problems</p>

7

<p>Your SATs are ‘ok’ but not great for US students. No idea how they stack up for Internationals.</p>

<p>In any event with your entire record, you should definitely apply. You will certainly receive serious consideration. Otherwise, it’s a numbers game, so it will depend on how the entire application holds together.</p>

<p>your SAT II scores are great; your ECs look good; really, like everyone else said, the only thing holding you back right now is your SAT I. try to take it again, and see if you can get another huge jump like you did earlier haha (and study a lot!). After that, I think it’ll be a pure game of chance with an ivy like cornell.</p>
