Cornell Regular Decision -- What are your SAT Scores?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Just relax people! Take a deep breath!</p>

<p>Virtually all students who apply have good or great SATs, SAT IIs, APs, etc. The reasons why the 25th/75th percentiles are lower than some of the postings here is because Cornell looks at much more than numbers - </p>

<p>What are your interests? How was your esay? What makes you stand out? What have you done to improve your community? Your state?</p>

<p>What was the focus of your ECs outside of athletics? What is your travel experience? Your family backround? Do you enjoy the outdoors? Would you adapt well to the Ithaca environment? What would you add to the diversity of the campus? Are you from New York? Boston? Or a small town in Wyoming?</p>

<p>It's more than the scores - everybody got good scores.</p>

<p>There was an article (which i'm too lazy to find right now) that said Cornell itself said it does consider the writting section but less than the other two sections. The most convincing theory i've heard is that it's treated like an SAT II, which makes sense since they only require two know as opposed to three.</p>

30

<p>Yeah I ve seen the same article as nameless1 did. That article splitted most of the universities up to 3 categories. Treating W the same level with CR and M, not caring so much about W, and just dont care about W.</p>

31

<p>so Cornell falls into the "not caring so much about W" category.</p>

32

<p>counts as much as an SATII?? that means it carries almost no weight, because subject tests get much more of a break/leniency in terms of lower scores</p>

33

<p>1654 / 2454 I got the bonus right!</p>

34

<p>^lol (10 char)</p>

35

<p>hahahahahahahahaa</p>

36

<p>1490/2200. CC people do tend to have higher SAT scores than the average applicant.</p>

37

<p>2320, 800 Math 720 CR 800 Writing</p>

<p>2320, 800 Math 720 CR 800 Writing </p>

<p>this is what calc said in another thread</p>

<p>and in another one</p>

<p>he said 800/700/700</p>

<p>and another one 640/680/710 something like tht</p>

<p>so obvioiusly he is lying</p>

38

<p>lol...i'm sooo happy to hear cornell doesn;t count writing =D 1530/2160</p>

39

<p>1490/2260 :(</p>

<p>Are the RD scores probably higher than the ED scores since there are people who apply ED with lower scores to increase their chances of getting in by making up for the scores by showing great interest? I would hope so, but now I am getting more nervous for ED since even though the middle range is something below what I have, for just CAS it is higher, especially for CR. So, whereas the median 50 percent for the seven schools combined is about 620-710 (I think) for CR, it is 650-750 for CR at CAS, so I'm right in the middle. Man, I'm too nervous. I hope they don't send likely letters - that'll add to my stress.</p>
