chances for your average white kid

<p>ive taken the hardest courseload available.</p>

<p>somewhere around 3.7 uw gpa, top 20% (competitive school which always sends at least 2 or 3 kids a year to cornell)</p>

<p>800v 720m 630w
then
740v 670m 710 w so finally a 2230 composite</p>

<p>750 us history, 660 physics</p>

<p>3 ap lit 3 ap euro as a sophmore
4 ap macro 5 micro 5 us hist junior</p>

<p>eagle scout
canadian henley champion rower
founder squash team
reasearch assistant at SUNY Buffalo, abstract submitted
other inconsequential ****</p>

<p>the major essay isnt that good, the other 2 should be ok.</p>

<p>good recs, one really good, one good. a killer one from the principal who went to cornell graduate.</p>

<p>chances?</p>

<p>p.s. i wnt to major in econ, do you think the AO's will take good recs and ap scores into consideration?</p>

<p>rank can kill your chances. I went to a decent, average int'l school that sends about 6 students a year to cornell (out of 75 seniors)...so your school isnt too competitive</p>

<p>you're trying to get into CAS? you've got an OK chance. your sat scores are solid except for that physics score. ap scores are ok, but the threes aren't gonna look so great. ecs seem good enough. you can potentially be accepted unless ur essay is actually all that bad.</p>

<p>I'd bet that 660 in Physics won't hold you back at all. You're other scores definately overshadow it.</p>

<p>i can only pray</p>

<p>you will be fine. an "average" student will be, well average. probably 500 in all of the sections of the SATs (1500 overall), top 50%of his/her class, 3.0 gpa, 500 on all SAT2s, probably no AP classes. now how do you define average?!?</p>

<p>well average ivy applicant who is drinking heavily. last nite i passed out on a seat cusion barely large enough for one person then i spilled instant mashed potatoes on the floor. good times.</p>
