<p>Hey guys, i wanna know my chances of getting into Cornell. Other univerisites i plan to apply to are carnegie, ucb, uiuc, georgia tech and maybe some others but these are top priority. Planning to major in comp sci
Im studying under the british system. My O level grades were 3A* 3A 2B and school exams were similar. My SAT scores are as follows
Math- 780
Writing - 680
CR- 600
Planning to give SAT II in math lvl 2 and physics expecting 750+.
Extra curriculars are mainly MUN's. I dont know if u guys know what that is but it is a form of debating. I have won on several occasions. I have done a couple math competitions. And i am captain of my basketball team. Also held position among student council. I do have an internship with WWF and have done some community service as well
My state of residency is Maryland and ethnicity is middle eastern.
Any help would be appreciated!</p>
<p>I’ll take your GPA as 3.75 for chancing. Your school choices all pertain to computer science; do you intend to pursue CS in college? And is UMD no good for you?</p>
<p>Cornell: Reach
Berkeley: High match
UIUC: Match
GA Tech: Match
CMU: Reach</p>

<p>One thing about Cornell – unless they’ve changed in the last year (and one suspects they will eventually), they do not look at the Writing Portion of the SAT. Your 600 CR is significantly lower than average for Cornell. I’m not sure how your GPA translates, but if Catria is correct, about the 3.75 – thats ‘ok’ but is not going to blow anyone away.</p>
<p>As it stands now, I think Cornell is probably a reach, as are Berkeley and CMU. I don’t know the other two schools well enough to comment.</p>
