<p>I am currently 2nd in my class of about 500 and am expected to rise to 1st before graduation.</p>

<p>I am not worried about the essay so please focus comments on the test scores, extracurriculars, and course load. Thank you all very much.</p>

<p>Your test scores are excellent. Your EC's are a bit on the light side, but if you apply early, that hopefully won't matter as much. Your rank will certainly help!!! As long as you're not applying for engineering, I think Cornell would be a good bet for you... Good luck!</p>

<p>By the way, Cornell has ED, not EA. That means it's binding, so make sure it's your first choice.</p>

<p>thanks for the reply koala717</p>

<p>... el bumbadingo</p>

4

<p>i hate to bump but it seems no one wants to post here so
... el bumpadingo</p>

5

<p>You're definitely in with ED.</p>

6

<p>I'd say you have about a 95% shot at getting into Cornell........</p>

<p>.............for regular decision.</p>

<p>For Early..........195%. (No Typo)</p>

<p>I strongly suggest you apply to better schools because I really think, with your stats, you could do much better.</p>

<p>However, if you really think Cornell is the best fit for you, I respect that!</p>

7

<p>Hey BreakorDeath you just made me smile ear to ear! Also do you know who Eddie Izzard is? "Cake or Death?"</p>

8

<p>"I really think, with your stats, you could do much better"</p>

<p>Unbelievable. Cornell really doesn't get enough credit on this site.</p>

9

<p>Yeah I get that Koala717 I have seen people rate it lower than UVA on here so maybe he was just going by that standard but I just kinda like to hear good news from time to time.</p>

10

<p>Yea, what are you talking about , besides Harvard Princeton Yale Stanford, there is not any better than Cornell many can argue. Whoever said that is a moron. You are not a shoe-in whatsoever. Plenty of kids get rejected with those scores</p>

11

<p>"can do much better", how much better is there? this kid deserves to be punched</p>

12

<p>I think you have a lottery ticket... I think u can get in ;)</p>

13

<p>You're a good candidate - but if you really want a high chance of getting in ED it. But MAKE SURE, I mean MAKE SURE you can live with it. Because it IS binding and people do change. I mean you're applying November and you go to school next September - that's about a year. And it's senior year, so you'll definitely change and the worst part about ED is that you might regret it - and no one wants to regret their decisions.</p>

<p>MIT
CalTech</p>

<p>Those two, without question, are definitely better. There are quite a few others that are better that can be named though I'm sure some diehard Cornell fans would debate those.</p>

15

<p>Well I'm not going in for engineering or math related degrees so I have to argue that Cornell has a quality med program unmatched by most others and that their graduate programs are better. But overall you guys basically think I have a good shot?</p>

16

<p>Don't worry about it. You have a great shot :).</p>

<p>Keep in mind, though, that you'll be applying to a single school within the university, and each one has a separate admissions process; some are easier than others.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

17

<p>Without question are better? What if you happened to want a social life?</p>

18
