Chances?

<p>Hi there. My dad is an alumni interviewer and he worked in the college admissions department at Cornell. Nowadays Ivies in general are looking less at SAT scores and more at the rigor of your courses. Somebody could test well, but have terrible grades, or somebody could have amazing grades, but test poorly. In this case you’re the latter, and that’s OK. You have a shot. You seem to be a well-rounded student, and that is what Ivies are looking for. My dad told me he can see immediately who will make it into an Ivy and who won’t. He tells me the types of people who will make Ivies are ones who enjoy having intellectual conversations with you, and are open to ideas. If you’re like this (which based on what you’ve provided it seems like you are), then you have a great shot; don’t worry about your SAT scores so much.</p>
