<p>Wow that is great news! I kept thinking that unless you have all 700s you’re expecting a rejection letter come April.</p>
<p>my brother got in with a 1960. He is currently on the deans list. SATs are not really a great measurement of intellect. one disclaimer, he ( and therefore so am i) was international, so his writing and cr scores were low.</p>
<p>check my older posts and my stats are on it. They are not amazing, but I got accepted</p>
<p>Son was accepted with a 2000. Did have a hook though - recruited athlete. As far as I can tell from all the ED decisions I have read on here, SAT score is not everything. You must be a good fit for the school and well rounded.</p>
<p>Sounds good. Thanks for the input, everyone. Makes me feel better. My superscore is a 2000. Good to know I still have a chance. </p>
<p>Excuse me for not knowing haha, but what is a recruited athlete? How does it happen?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sorry but anyone who reads this please do not get excited, this is HORRIBLY inaccurate. Anyone is entitled to their opinion and you are free to believe it if you wish, but no one should be taking this numbers for being anything more than his OPINION and should understand that they contain NO factual basis WHATSOEVER. Sorry but there is no way ANY of those categories are correct. Check the Early Admission thread (which has proven to have HIGHER acceptance rates than RD) if you don’t believe me. </p>
<p>I would also be wary of including recruited athletes in your evaluation of what numbers it takes to be admitted. Recruited athletes are exactly what they sound like: students who are recruited to come to a school in order to play on a Varsity Athletic team and help the school win. Often, statistics can be overlooked for this reason. As a result, athletes have a much lower average SAT score and GPA than do normal applicants. I am not implying this is at all reflective of the intelligence of recruited athletes, but you cannot deny that the same numbers are not required for an athlete to get in as are required for a normal candidate.</p>
<p>roneald, thanks for clearing that up for me! </p>
<p>How does the college hear or find out about the athlete? I run track (although I’m not good enough to be recruited), and am curious.</p>
<p>The prospective recruit often gets in touch with the coach at Cornell and proceeds from there.</p>
<p>^ Not always, especially in sports where success can’t be quantified by numbers (like track and field and swimming, where your skill is equivalent to your time). Often recruiters will go to areas where there are a large number of potential athletes (there were recruiters a dime and dozen whenever I went to state championships for any sport), and after they meet an athlete they like, they might begin to attend that athlete’s home games and such if they feel they are a top recruit, or will maintain some form of contact if they feel they are a medium recruit (almost of all Cornell’s recruits will fall under this category; Cornell simply does not have much money to invest in the prior). </p>
<p>However, if you’re a senior and haven’t done anything by now, it probably isn’t going to happen.</p>
<p>Nice. Thanks guys. </p>
<p>Haha yeah it definitely is too late. I wouldn’t have been of recruit quality though, but I do have a lot of track stuff on my transcript. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>My friend, Asian, no hook, got in with a 1900 flat.</p>
<p>Sick. </p>
<p>Is being Chinese a drawback when it comes to admissions? It is an ORM right, as opposed to a URM? Also, does anyone know if Maine is an under-represented area? </p>
<p>You guessed it. These apply to me, haha.</p>
<p>I got in with a 2050, (760 cr, 630 math, 660 writing) and a 620 on the math I subject test (670 bio and 760 us history) but i also had a 32 ACT score (corresponds to around 2150 SAT). </p>
<p>The admissions ppl admitted that they don’t really consider the writing section so you should adjust your efforts accordingly. Try taking the ACTs i found them alot more manageable and improved greatly although i only took them once with absolutely no preparation. Also my grades weren’t perfect but they were good. i really think it was my essays which demonstrated fit that got me in.</p>
<p>Since Cornell doesn’t really care about the writing section, we should say “Do applicants with SATs around 1350 ever get accepted?” LOL.</p>
<p>hahaha true true. </p>
<p>generic, what school did you get into? Curious.</p>
<p>In at ILR with a 720 CR, 670 Math, 780 Writing, 700 Lit subject test, and 630 Math I subject test. It’s the essays, guys.</p>
<p>^so…GPA/SATs/ACT= Essays > ECs/ Rec ?</p>
<p>no.</p>
<p>GPA > SAT/ACTS = Essays > Recs > ECs
IMO.</p>
<p>What’s considered as an ‘‘average’’ UW GPA for Cornell? They look at it in lieu of the Class rank right?</p>
