Hi everyone. I want to know what my chances for Cornell are. I have to apply RD because my family is not in the financial situation to do a binding ED to a school that does not give merit aid. I either want to go to the Engineering School (which I know is very competitive) or CALS for Environmental Engineering (which I here is less competitive). Personally I doubt I can get into engineering but could possibly get into CALS.
Stats:
GPA: 94.6 unweighted 95.7 weighted as of February this year.
ACT: 34 (36 Reading, 35 English, 31 Math, and 35 Science) Probably going to send this.
SAT (New): 1450 (710 Reading + Writing, 740 Math)
SAT II: 770 Chem, 750 World History. Math 2 not out yet, and I will take physics in October.
Senior Year Courseload: AP Calc BC , IB English HL, IB Physics HL, IB Design Tech HL, IB Italian SL, IB 20th Century History HL
IB Diploma candidate so I also take TOK and am doing the EE.
APs: 5 on Chemistry, 4 on World History.
Probably around 800-900 hours of community service at local Animal Shelters (since I was 11)
Income around 150k I think, not worthy for Financial Aid even though we really need it!
So yeah, what are my chances for CALS and Cornell Engineering?
Why are you bothering with Cornell if you “really need” aid, but won’t get a lot with that income??
How much WILL your parents pay each year?
