chances of a normal person at Cornell????

<p>I applied awhile ago but im getting nervous and i just want to KNOW. so maybe someone could just be blunt and put me out of my misery.
i have an overall 4.2 GPA...on the "road" to valectorian as ranked #16 out of 530 in my class (top 4%)...my ACT's are embarassing and that's why im peeing in my pants. i got a 25....BLAH...Im taking 3 AP's right now (pysch, gov, and econ).....i play competitive soccer...on a traveling team going across nation for college scout tournaments...ranked #1 in norcal at moment...was recruited to play soccer at Cornell, but least the coach could do was put me on his "list" so it may/may not help much with my admissions. i have over 150 hours of community service-from feeding the homeless etc...was involved in leadership at school...etc.....etc....CHANCES?</p>

<p>I think they're still decent</p>

<p>You didn't take the SATs? What about the SAT IIs? A 25 is like an 1180. What school at Cornell did you apply to? Good academic record, is your school very competitive? Being recruited certainly helps a lot. Good luck!</p>

<p>ya...i guess...but decent probably isnt good enough for the big "ivy" leaguers</p>

<p>HAHA...oh yes i took all those...but i did WAY worse so the ACT's are my best shot. i applied to Arts and Sciences</p>

<p>I don't mean to be rude by asking but it would help me asess your chances if you posted them.</p>

<p>three APs? slacker.</p>

<p>.....hmmmm.....980 for SATI's....and around 430 math/500 english...happy dear?</p>

<p>haha sorry i cant meet your expectations lolk1214...haha. (whered u get lolk1214? seems so random? wats it mean?)</p>

<p>Thanks dear. I'd say you don't have as bad a chance as your test scores indicate, everything besides them is very solid. Did you just take them once? </p>

<p>Unfortunately Cornell only takes a couple kids each year with your scores, so it's hard to predict. You only have 2 more weeks to find out.</p>

<p>we were just being honest...</p>

<p>ya. i know. its pretty frustrating. I took them a couple of times but always got the same score...its confusing to look at the average test scores online for Cornell because they all vary! some say the middle 50% accepted have between 25-29...other sites say the middle 50% is exactly 29....so dont really know what to go off of</p>

<p>For arts and sciences I think the average is about 29 or 30.</p>

<p>mwahaha.im screwed.</p>

<p>did you take sat IIs ?</p>

<p>ya i got in the 500's and 430's ish</p>

<p>ouch...: (......</p>

<p>Well you said be honest, I don't <em>think</em> you'll get in. Arts and sciences is extremely competitive, especially this year, you have to brace yourself for the worst. I wish you luck though and hope you prove me wrong. </p>

<p>I'm a little confused as to how your rank and gpa are so high and your test scores are so low.</p>

<p>i do my hw...im a nerd with school...just a horrible test taker</p>

<p>Normal person? I think you are far above normal. All of you guys on here are very impressive.</p>
