<p>A in Physics 1 2 and 3.</p>

<p>A in Gen Chem</p>

<p>Got a B in English 1A(uniersity level writing) and A in 1B(literature)</p>

<p>Letters of Recommendation from math, physics, and English Instructors.</p>

<p>Please give me some suggestion!! Thank you guys</p>

<p>Cornell doesn’t look at SAT writing scores, so that doesn’t look too good since your CR score is extremely low.</p>

3

<p>Why are you currently in a community college? Your SAT IIs are really high.</p>

4

<p>I was not accepted to any UC when I applied… So my main goal is to transfer to a UC. Thus I attended a California Community College and plan to transfer to UC Berkeley. Cornell is just a college that I think I will have a shot… But based on the fact that CAS is so competitive. I don’t expect much to get in</p>

5

<p>95% of accepted applicants at UC are California residents.
If you’re not a resident at CA, you have almost no chance of getting in to UC.</p>

<p>That’s why I’m at Cornell, instead of UCLA.</p>

<p>I actually got waitlisted in UC Davis… But finally not accepted (Not accpted any one)</p>

Did you enter Cornell as a freshman or transfer???</p>

<p>I entered as a freshmen to Cornell.</p>

<p>I just emailed the admissions officer… She said CAS transfer does not require to submit SAT score. But I could submit if taken. Do you think I should submit these scores. I doubt how much it will weigh in transfer admissions.</p>

10

<p>I wouldn’t submit it if I were you.
A critical reading score of 570 is considered to be extremely low.</p>

<p>If I had unlimited time to transfer, I would retake the SATs to get a better score, but since you’re not in that position, I would pass on submitting it.</p>

<p>Your GPA is really good, so it shouldn’t matter too much, but take my advice with a grain of salt. I’m just a student at Cornell, not the admissions officer.</p>

<p>Anyway. Thanks for your advice. Are you currently a junior in Cornell?</p>

12

<p>Rejected… Sad</p>

<p>Aww, I’m sorry, MYOMOO. I’ve seen your posts and was really rooting for you. Hopefully you hear better news from your other schools! Because you’re an in-state student at a community college, you have a great chance of getting into at least one of the CSU/UC’s if you apply next year as a junior. </p>

<p>Best of luck! </p>

<p>@Coriander23 Yes man… I got in UC Berkeley UCLA UCSD and UC Davis
Waiting for Upenn, Dartmouth, MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Brown and Harvard…
I am pretty sure I will end up with UC Berkeley</p>
