<p>oh and im gay? lol but idt that will help</p>

<p>I'm also pretty torn between the two schools. I've already written my essay for CAS and think that it is pretty good, but I heard that the school is much more competitive. Do I have a shot there? Or should I just apply ED to Human Ec, which I have some interest in, and transfer to CAS if I dont like it, assuming that I get in.</p>

<p>SAT I and II scores are going to kill you.</p>

<p>SAT scores are a big weakness, but you’ve taken a lot of APs, and your ECs are excellent.</p>

<p>Cornell is very much interested in you as the person, and if your essays/recommendations/interview are good, you should have a good shot at whatever school you apply to. Applying ED is also huge, obviously, for such a “fit” school.</p>

<p>Thanks…Yeah I really do hope that my Oct SAT’s are above a 2000. Going to Cornell CAS would be amazing.</p>
