3.85 (Including freshman yr)</p>

<p>Act: 31 total 35 math 33 english 29 reading 29 Science (Grrr)
32 total 33 math 35 english 29 reading 32 Science</p>

<p>Didn't take the Sat or Sat II but planing to take Sat II MathIIc and Physics in December (Still convincing the college board to let me register after the deadline).</p>

<p>Thats about all I can think of...
So, should I take the time writing the essay and everything?
Thanks.</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know if I will have a better chance at getting into the Art and science prog. or the eng. prog?</p>

3

<p>You are very, very lopsided, so I guess Engineering would be better for you.</p>

<p>...Why didn't you take advanced humanities courses?</p>

4

<p>Yeah, well I'm more of a math and science type person as you can see. One Course of European History AP in 11th grade scared me off from most of the humanities. Also, I don't really care about facts, or dates, I care about learning about how todays world works especially the science and math parts. Although, I do have a particular interest in phycology (however you spell it) Ahh well...I just hope I don't get screwed if I apply to the eng. school since its harder to get into. MEH, I still don't know if I should go Art-science and major in physics or engineering.</p>

5

<p>Well, phycology is the study of algae.</p>

6

<p>ok ok psychology is what I'm also interested in. LOL. Sorry algae</p>

7

<p>"Well, phycology is the study of algae"</p>

<p>lol</p>

8

<p>Can anyone tell me my chances...?</p>

9

<p>definitely apply, as you asked in the first post. i think that you have decent chances. just write realy specific, honed in essays. show them that you fit at Cornell, either engineering or A & S. (or whatever else)</p>

10

<p>Thanks for the vote of confidence. Any Ideas of what to write for the suppliment engineering essay? Sorry, I'm just drawing a blank right now.</p>

11

<p>hmm...what's the topic? (i'm not an engineer)</p>

12

<p>Ok here it is: </p>

<p>"College of Engineering: Engineers turn ideas (technical, scientific, mathematical) into reality. Tell us about your interest in engineering or an
engineering idea you have. Explain how Cornell Engineering can help you further explore this interest or idea."</p>

13

<p>think up an interest that you have in engineering and i'll try to turn it into an essay (PM me haha)</p>
