<p>

I’ve heard that the class of 2014 was the largest, but I don’t know how credible the claim is.</p>

82

<p>

</p>

<p>Does it really make that much of a difference in admissions? Not that I’m afraid something as insubstantial as population will jeopardize my chances, I’m just curious.</p>

83

<p>^ Any difference in admissions is insignificant.</p>

84

<p>^ Yes, I agree.</p>

85

<p>I’m not exactly sure what to make of that statement.</p>

86

<p>^ My statement?</p>

87

<p>No, Jersey’s.</p>

88

<p>Has anybody here read the Freshman Application Information that Cornell supplies for undergraduate admission? Good knowledge to have…</p>

<p>Cornell hopefuls,</p>

<p>What were your high school stats? (SAT score, avg GPA, extracurriculars, etc)</p>

90

<p>Here’s general Cornell info:
Cornell SAT Averages: (710 CR) + (740 M) = 1450 / 1600*
*They do not look at writing it all.
Class Rank/GPA: Should take very rigorous curriculum, be in top 5% (at very competitive high schools/prep schools top 10% or even lower than top 10% could be acceptable)–the higher up you are, the better.
EC’s: Show passion in something / be an active member of your local/high school community</p>

<p>There is obviously a ton more information, this is just a sample.</p>

<p>Here are more specific “stats” for each college at Cornell:</p>

<p>^Wow that was very helpful. Thanks!</p>

93

<p>hey everyone, a Canadian here gonna apply to Cornell. I was gonna apply ED, but Cornell’s new policy on FA for us Canadians robs of a lot of aid, so ED is far too risky. </p>

<p>RD for me…pych. or bio major. What college is this… CAS?</p>

94

<p>^ Yes, for both.</p>

<p>[Majors</a> in the college of arts and sciences](<a href=“http://as.cornell.edu/academics/major-minor/majors.cfm]Majors”>http://as.cornell.edu/academics/major-minor/majors.cfm)</p>

95

<p>Good luck you guys!!!</p>

96

<p>Good luck to you too. Less than 5 months until application submission for ED applicants and roughly 7 months for RD applicants.</p>

97

<p>185 days and 17 hours until ED notification.</p>

98

<p>It’s too early for countdowns!</p>

99
