<p>Applying to ILR</p>

<p>If you reflected everything you just said in your supplementals and essay, Im sure you have a very high chance man. Your ACT is a bit low and I can’t comment on your GPA without know more about your school, but other than you have a strong fit. Good luck bro!</p>

4

<p>You definitely have a good chance. Lots of leadership and good scores. I would put in an application. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>id say a very good shot at ILR especially because your ecs fit ILR. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>Would US Senate Page fit for ILR?</p>

7

<p>@TheMaskedPanda probably chance me back? <a href=“ILR ED Chances? - Cornell University - College Confidential Forums”>ILR ED Chances? - Cornell University - College Confidential Forums; </p>

8

<p>I think you’re a good candidate @TheMaskedPanda (and the US Senate Page fits).</p>

9

<p>Just wondering, which 10 of those EC’s are you putting in for your Common App?</p>

<p>Very good chances by the way, but I’m sure you already know that</p>

10

<p>Excellent ECs. I would take the Oct ACT in an attempt to strengthen your application. University-wide, the 25th-75th % ACT scores were 30-34 with 32 being the 50th %. That puts your 31 below the 50th %. </p>

11

<p>@myrealname I put Page, Model UN, my startup, my non profit, DECA, Chinese Club, Softball, Church, Leadership Club, and Trivia Club.</p>

<p>What do you think I should put?</p>

12

<p>@CT1417 I am not sure if I should retake them because I consider myself pretty lucky to get a 31. On the 10+ practice tests I have taken, I have never got 30+. I have never broken 28 on the science section and I got a 33 on the test. </p>

<p>This is what I found for ILR stats: <a href=“http://www.suny.edu/Student/downloads/Pdf/Admissions_qf_stateop.pdf”>http://www.suny.edu/Student/downloads/Pdf/Admissions_qf_stateop.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>IDK if I should retake it because I don’t know if I will get 31+ or never match it. </p>

13

<p>I also got a recommendation from the Secretary for the Majority at the US Senate if that helps. </p>

14

<p>Government major? The only major at the ILR school is ILR</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>@TheMaskedPanda I was wondering the same thing. I hope you didn’t say on your application to ILR that you want to be a history or government major :-(</p>

<p>@zenithar143 @brantly I copied and pasted from my other chance thread. Sorry about that. I want to major in ILR at ILR. </p>
