Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>I'm a HS senior from VA and I want to know my chances for Cornell's College of Engineering ED? </p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.69 / 4 (Pretty bad, I know... )
Weighted: 4.52 / 5
SAT: 2290 (Math: 800, Writing: 740, Reading: 750)</p>

<p>SAT IIs: Physics, Math II, Chem all 800s</p>

<p>I've done AP Calc BC, Physics C (both), Chem, English Language, US History, Spanish, Statistics and got a 5 on all of them (but I'm not sure whether Cornell considers AP scores). However I got Bs in the Calc BC and Chemistry courses. </p>

<p>Some extra stuff:</p>

<p>National AP Scholar
On school's Science Olympiad and Science Bowl teams
Have around 250 volunteer hours
I'm on the track team (not very good or anything, though). </p>

<p>This year my courses are: </p>

<p>AP US Gov & Politics
Multivariable Calc Honors
AP Biology
Honors language arts
And some other stuff...</p>

<p>Oh and do you guys have other suggestions for places to apply? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Cornell’s among the easier ivies to get into. SAT score is really good, and so is everything else. However you never really know with the ivies…
But I say you have a fair shot, as long as your essays are stellar.

<p>Your SAT scores are GREAT and you have taken many AP classes as well. I think you should begin focusing on your grades more, though. Write a good essay, and I say you have a pretty decent chance!</p>

<p>I’d say your shot at Cornell is great, especially with ED. Make sure to focus on your grades this year to raise the GPA, just as a plus factor.
Not sure if Cornell considers AP scores in the admissions process, but they do have a great AP credit policy.
I’m also applying Cornell ILR ED this year as well. Good luck!

<p>I have a question:- Does Cornell defer its ED applicants to regular decision round
if they are international students??? My teacher told they do, but, I dont think, I hope its not true.
I was really hoping I have a good shot at Cornell bcoz its ED acceptance rate is much higher.</p>
