<p>i finally gave in..
applying to Cornell RD -- how can i make myself stand out?</p>

<p>asian female - PA
SAT: 2340 - 800 (CR), 780 (W), 760 (M)
SAT2s: 800 on Math Level II, 750 on History
GPA: weighted - 96/100, 4.0/4.0
my transcript is rele weak because I got a lot of B's through my high school career but my gpa has been increasing every year so that's a good thing right?
9 APs by the time I graduate -- all 5's on AP exams</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Yearbook Editor (strongest EC), President of National Art HOnor Society, Vice President of other clubs -- all of my extracurriculars mostly have to do with art & culture</p>

<p>will be majoring in Econ & German : )</p>

<p>i suck at writing so assume mediocre essays, great recs (but not amazing)</p>

<p>Great Chance lol</p>

3

<p>lol thanks
anyone else? please...?</p>

4

<p>You didn't need to post this.</p>

5

<p>^^^haha.</p>

<p>Op, those stats ...money in the bank!</p>

6

<p>the reason im worried is cuz i have 6 b's on my transcript.. : /</p>

7

<p>You'll have really nice chances.</p>

8

<p>whats your rank? I say you're in if you're top %25. nice job on SATs</p>

9

<p>you don't have to have straight A's, you know.</p>

10

<p>Aim for HYPSMC because Cornell sucks :)</p>

11

<p>i like cornell better than HY, princeton maybe but i'd say Cornell is a pretty solid school</p>

12

<p>Kids like you at my high school with similar grades to you use Cornell as a safety. Not to undermine how enormously difficult it is to get into to an Ivy, you should be more than solid.</p>

13

<p>lol thanks guys -- made me feel 1000x better</p>

14

<p>LOL cornell as safety?!??!? wow, i think they are seriously misinformed.... unless they apply ED, which they are not since they are doing RD. It is the easiest ivy to get into though. and whats the MC stand for</p>

15

<p>fastlane: how can you suck at writing when u have 780 W on the SAT...</p>

16

<p>MC stands for MIT and CalTech.</p>

<p>The SAT writing, much like the rest of the SAT is not, is not reflective of your intelligence or academic abilities.</p>

17

<p>yea SAT writing only tests grammar -- and we all know that the essay is a joke</p>

<p>cornell is DEF not a safety, def. still a reach for me esp. since im applying RD and because I can't come up with anything to write for their essayyyyy</p>

18

<p>lol the essay wasnt a joke for me.... failed it . cuz i pretty much had to write the whole thing in the last 7 mins...</p>

19

<p>aww sorry : (
it was kinda ignorant of me to type that--i wanted to delete it but by then, it was too late cuz the site doesn't let us delete posts</p>

<p>"I can't come up with anything to write for their essayyyyy"</p>

<p>...glad I sent you mine after you told me you weren't applying</p>
