<p>I'm applying to Cooper Union Advancement of Arts and Science next year..</p>
<p>and I want to know if it's a very competive school? How many students get </p>
<p>in and if i have the chances to get in?</p>
<p>My Sat scores were horrible it was only a 1210<-- Taking the exam in October</p>
<p>I'm never do good in Reasoning Exams but in my school work and GPA i'm one </p>
<p>of the smartest in my school.. Current Avg is 97.0 </p>
<p>Do you think i have a chance at all?</p>
<p>Cooper accepts only 13% of applicants (last year, 104 of 1016 women accepted, 204 of 1285 men.) Almost everyone is in top 10% of class and average SAT 2000 on 2400 point scale (1330 on 1600 scale). If your 1210 is on 1600 point scale, you would fall at the 75th percentile, or three-quarters of the class scores higher. Cooper applicants often apply to Cornell and Columbia as their reach schools, if that also helps in your self-assessment.</p>
<p>Also, Cooper Union tends to deemphasize grades in favor of talent. There's a home test along with the application, and if it turns out that you're fantastically talented in your expected major, you'll get in.</p>
<p>Yes for their art profram, and a portfolio for architecture. But for engineering they only look at standardized tests and gpa, and if you completed the first year of their course work</p>
