<h2>Wondering if I should even shoot a chance at Cornell's Human Ecology school for Fiber Science & Textile Design (basically Fashion Design). Cornell is the only university I'm applying to; the rest are art-based schools. i am very aware my SAT score blows and my grades aren't up to par, wondering if the rest makes up?</h2>

<p>i'm mainly wondering if all my extra stuff will weigh out my horrendous SAT score. i do plan on retaking, but i am not going to exceed 1900. i'm also not banking on high SAT II scores (taking math/lit. safety measures 600+). i'm worried Cornell may prioritize my SAT score over my portfolio, regardless of the fact that my major of choice is art-based. </p>
<p>thanks</p>
