<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? "</p>

<p>YES</p>

<p>I wouldn't be too nervous about SATs...contrary to popular belief, the pseudo cut-off system is utilized for caucasian non-recruits. 1500+ is fine.</p>

42

<p>Yea for not caring about Writing!</p>

<p>1550/2270</p>

43

<p>31 ACT </p>

<p>Which = ~1400-1450, right?</p>

<p>I'm not sure why prospies think a good SAT score (1500) really increases your chances of getting accepted. It doesn't. Most applicant score at the top end of the SATs. Admissions review comm. members are much more interested in what weperates you out from the pack - what can you contribute to the diversity on thge campus. This comes through your essay. Hopefully. This will also demonstrate how well you write. Or ont.</p>

<p>does cornell take your highest score from each category or is it from one sitting?</p>

<p>TheOldProf, if you're referring to me, i'm not a "prospie" and what i was saying was more like there's a cut off, which is basically like what you implied as well. i wasn't trying to say that an amazing score would help you too much in fact quite the opposite, i was trying to say that it was necessary for a caucasion non-recruit as sort of a minimum.</p>

<p>if you weren't referring to me...woops :)</p>

47

<p>sametwochords, you meant 1500/1600 or 1500/2400??</p>

48

<p>1600/1600
2380/2400</p>

49

<p>1500/1600....you're different, you're a legacy bearcats. yea i forgot to say, caucasian, non-recruit, non-legacy</p>

<p>and obviously it doesn't mean that a person like that with a sub 1500 score can't get in but that's just the faux cut-off.</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>No, I was actually saying that it could count more than people think. If it is worth as much as an SAT II then that's huge. Try playing around with the academic index calculator on this site to see how much a change in a subject test score affects your score.</p>

<p>SAT: 1570/2330 </p>

<p>Sat II: 2330</p>

<p>1430/1600
2140/2400</p>
