Cornell HEOP Requirements and Deadline?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

Hello guys :smiley: I just made a College Confidential account and I have a question.

I’m going to be a senior this fall and I want to get into Cornell via the HEOP program. My family is pretty financially disabled so I qualify in that aspect but onto the academic aspect. Do you guys think an 1800 SAT score is good enough to get in or should I need raise it to say at least a 1900? Also I can’t seem to find a deadline for the HEOP application. Does anyone know the date?

On to my last question(sorry for the barrage of questions). For HEOP do I still need to take two SAT II subject tests or not because for regular admission you’re required to take two subject tests. If so I would just take Physics and Math but I don’t know whether Math 2 looks better for Cornell or not. The do say it can be either so I don’t know. Anyway thank you for your time, hope I get the answers I need :slight_smile:

Anyone??

I’m a parent and don’t know the specifics of the program, but like looking things up, and I can’t find the answers to any of your questions. You’ll have to ask the school:

I don’t know about the HEOP program and if they are more forgiving with lower test scores. But hardly anyone takes the Math 1; most take the Math 2.

They have to be more forgiving of test scores, that is the whole concept of HEOP, to admit students who otherwise would not be admitted to said University. We had a student admitted under this program this year with SAT CR + M score of less than 1200. However he is a URM, did a lot with Cornell Cooperative Extention & their dairy program through high school, & had someone inside the Ag school backing & advising him.

Hmm good to know, thanks :D. Also I am a URM so I guess that will benefit me. Additionally I am curious if he had take any subject tests?

After some research I was curious how one would join the Cornell Cooperative Extension? I know it may be too late but I can’t seem to find much information on it.

I’m in the program here with an 1890/1250. I submitted my US and World History scores (680 on both). Ideally I should’ve submitted math/science scores being a STEM major, but just do the best you can (obviously). I’m in Arts and Sciences, but I heard CALS doesn’t require them.

What date did you have to go for your pre summer freshman program?(Just curious)

11

I got a pretty high sat score (2100, not high in general lol) for heop, but a low gpa, around 3.5 ish. My family income is pretty low, around 15,000. Do you think I can get in?

What college are you applying too?

I went from the second to last week in June until the first-ish week of August. My income is in a similar ballpark. The general trend I noticed in other people who did PSP (it also has non-HEOP kids) is a higher GPA and lower SAT score. I wouldn’t discourage you from applying, but also remember to not set your heart on anything.
