8

<p>You = In. What CollegE?</p>

9

<p>Is Cornell that uncompetitive? College of Arts and Sciences.</p>

10

<p>haha no, you just seem really qualified</p>

11

<p>sometimes i get the feeling adcoms reject applicants just cuz they're too good. you seem like a lock if you have fit essays and recs....but you can never be 100% sure</p>

12

<p>just curious, wat r u gonna major in?</p>

13

<p>No, but I had some friends who did it and I went to see. Which group were you? The one with the watermelons?</p>

14

<p>First of all...those are insane stats. when the heck do you have time to do allllll those APs.... and those SAT II's... insannneee... </p>

<p>if my friend can get in with 3 AP's... and like...2100... (azn-F) then u can def. get in with ur 10000 APs n SAT II's... lol Good Luck =)</p>

15

<p>^ Thanks for the support.</p>

<p>Glad to see my friends are happy about my acceptance.</p>

<p>=/</p>

<p>And I don't have 3 AP's.</p>

16

<p>mgau, U have as good a chance as anyone here i would say... Cornell isn't exacty a Non-competitive college u know...</p>

17

<p>good chance for the engineering school too</p>

<p>Zoogies, I was in the group with the electrostatic fan.
It just seems that Cornell is a lot less competitive than Harvard, which I applied EA and got deferred. My stats were average at best for Harvard, and here, you seem to bow down to me or something. I put genetics for my first choice major. People ask me when I have time to do all those APs all the time. Well, I don't even know. I work part time (20hr/wk) and I still get 8 hours of sleep on most weekdays.</p>

<p>You are a genius! Harvard is more competitive than Cornell...o rly? Obviously. Cornell is a much bigger school...sometimes perfect applicants get rejected from Harvard...and Harvard gets more applicants (with a better top end). Nobody is saying you are a definite lock (doesn't exist...) and nobody is bowing down to you as quite a few people with similar stats to yours will apply to Cornell (some of them only because they are ivy-sluts tossing their app to all the Ivy-League schools for the hell of it) but you look like a very competitve applicant and would probably get in if you applied. Probably.</p>

<p>o0o Hey Reffy! Congratulations again~!! =) </p>

<p>I didn't know how many APs you have... =T</p>

<p>but yea, he's still more qualified ...just look at his stats lol =P</p>
