<p>yeah your pretty much golden (a girl engineer with good scores, SATII maths are a bit oddly low for such a background and SAT scores), too bad most girls from jersey are ILR and HOTEL, and 30% of engineers drop ENG and go to AEM, HOTEL, ILR, good luck though, maybe you can rough it out</p>

<p>If you applied early, then I would say you have an excellent chance, however regular is significantly more competitive, so you have about an above average shot. It may worry adcom that your SAT II Math scores are low, considering those tests are significantly harder than your SAT I Math.</p>

<p>Also what is your SAT II science? Cornell engineering requires a science.</p>

<p>i know what my sat 2 scores are low… I just took my SAT again in october, hence the better score. I am taking my SAT 2s again in december, in time for the January 1st deadlines. Im planning to take Math 2, either physics or chem, and literature again</p>
