Expecting My recommendations to be good but nothing super and my essay will be pretty good
You seem to have a fairly good chance at getting into Cornell. It’s a requirement that you take subject tests. Math II is a requirement for engineering, I believe. However, you do have your choice of the sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Physics.
Try to get leadership positions, if you don’t have them already.
I honestly think that you’re a match for them since you not only showcase a wide range of abilities, but also practice a certain level depth for each activity that you do.
Get your essays and letters of recommendation to be top notch and I’d say you’re a shoo-in for admission.
Hi, your chances seem very good. I would say that this school is a Match school for you. Like BlankFusion stated, SAT II are required, so make sure you take those and do well. Always look to the positive side
I don’t follow the logic with the “chance me, I’ll chance back” threads. If you don’t know your chances to begin with, how would you know how to chance others accurately? It makes no sense.
The point of “chance me,will chance back” is for self assurance and more opinions. Wheather positive or negative, the more opinions will provide a more accurate answer. Thus, both parties benefit from more opinions
