<p>Essay- Table
I will write about a Table.How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs. Now, since I am in the USA for many years, don’t know exact number... but anyways, now my parents uses it to talk about bills and how will survive for next day. </p>

<p>So the essay will be a contrast of the use of a table in two different countries and two different situations.</p>

<p>hmm i think your essay would be really interesting
but i think your gpa and your sat scores are too low?</p>

3

<p>yes (10 characters)</p>

4

<p>I will raise the SAT to at least a 700</p>

5

<p>bumpbumpbump</p>

6

<p>SAT scores are never low. I got in a w/ 1890.</p>

<p>Goes to show that SAT's don't mean anything.</p>

7

<p>Which school at Cornell? The scores and grades are low for you to have a really good chance, in my opinion, though my son got in with grades like yours, and I know kids with low 1300s (old SAT) bet accepted. But the combination.... makes it tough.</p>

8

<p>^What SAT did your son have?
College of arts and science and I want to major in SOCIOLOGY.
I know my essay will knock them out, that is the only plus I have.</p>

9

<p>Try raising your GPA along with your SAT, but don't fret only on the SATs.
I like your essay though. Very original! Copyright it!
Besides my SAT was 1850 (590 CR 750 M 530 W <--LOL)</p>

10

<p>Can I send an ACT score instead of the SAT subject test?
I am going the take the SAT on Jan and the subj. on May, don't you think that they will reject me becasue I waited to long?</p>

11

<p>A Subject Test in May is way too later. But SAT on January is good and ACT scores will be accepted too, thought I don't know how that can be replaced with the Subject Test.</p>

12

<p>or should I take the SAT on March and the subjects on Jan?</p>

13

<p>I hate my GPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

14

<p>Do you have like any Dual Enrollment schools to Colleges. Take a couple college courses. Take some kind of AP course, preferably the easier one to get an A to raise your GPA.
Yet, if you can show you can handle college work, I guess they can look over the GPA.</p>

15

<p>should I take the SAT on March and the subjects on Jan?</p>

16

<p>Are you currently a junior or senior?</p>

17

<p>I am a senior</p>

18

<p>I think Cornell will accept January exam scores....but probably nothing after that.</p>

19

<p>I will instead take Feb ACT and Jan SAT subjects</p>

20

<p>Is that a good idea?</p>
