<p>As much as I'd like to contact last years' admitted
friends in Cornell from my school, there is a slight
complication and therefore i can not contact them.</p>
<p>Can someone post up chart (?) showing how many stdents
from Connecticutt get into Cornell?</p>
<p>It is my understanding that, from observing the Cornell admitted students'
profile for the last two years, that if you are from CT, then you need...</p>
<p>At least 2150+ SAT score.
'' 20th in class
'' recognized in one area (art, music, poetry)
'' lively character.</p>
<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems to be the case in my town.</p>
<p>ANYBODY from CT?</p>
<p>I am getting pretty lonely thinking that I must compete with all the
overtly competitive NY/NJ people who are flawless in everyway and yet
worry more than i do....</p>
<p>arg....i need to some local folk to relate the quite plausible rejection letter.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure if your stats are amazing and Cornell sees your passion you have a shot at getting in, a geographical bias towards CT sounds unlikely however I don't live your life or inside your shoes so I have no idea if that may be true or not.</p>
<p>I feel the same way. im applying to Cornell as well as HPM and some safety schools, and i feel as if theres no way i can compete with some of those super competitive kids, not that my CT education has been bad and ive tried to do more than my school offers, but its hard when those opportunities arent there compared to those kids that have mentors that help them do ground breaking research when theyre 15 or something like that. The MIT app asks for AMC and AIME scores and i didnt even know what those were until i looked em up just to see what the app was talking about. Im so afraid ill get rejected to all the schools i want to go to and end up at UConn, not that its bad but its not anywhere near the level i want, and i assume you feel the same way?</p>
<p>Yes, it's that feeling of abysmal despair....Hopefully this post will round up more CT folks like ourselves so that when we get the rejection letter, we'd at least be able to share the pain...I am so frustrated these days that I am keep having these nightmares of not getting accepted even into state colleges and like have to go to coast guard academy (I am a severe sea-sickness sufferer, no offense to the coast guard. I can't control my dremas...)</p>
<p>I've just been overly stressed. I feel like I've basically blown through school up to this point, I'm 2/251 and don't like I've been too stressed or overworked to get to that point, but now the stress from applying to these colleges and anticipating rejection is reflecting in my school work and its worrisome.</p>
<p>I understand your stress guys I went through this last year as a high school senior, got waitlisted at Cornell, UMich, and NYU and then eventually rejected. Hopefully, my freshman first year college grades will bring in improved results and a few admits this year.</p>
<p>I have a little above 2100 and people say its good but i still feel like I have no chance in getting into Cornell, JHU, and a few other great schools. at this point, I'm only banking on UConn and my other safeties. UConn's a good school but I don't want to stay in CT.</p>
<p>I'm not from CT, I'm from NY. But I do know CT is spelled Connecticut with one T and not two. </p>
<p>Anyway, the people from NY/NJ are not overly competitive, although we're certainly better than the rest of you. The thing I've noticed is that people from New England/Mid Atlantic states seem to be more competitive overall than the Southern/Midwestern kids. That's just a generalization, not always true of course. Being from CT is hardly detrimental.</p>
