<p>Are you considered an international student? Cause if you are, that could make it tougher for you to get in.</p>

<p>Either way you have a pretty good chance, just a better one if you weren’t international</p>

<p>Thank you guys, since I am not an experienced “chancer”, I can’t chance back accurately,sorry 'bout that.</p>

<p>Any more opinions?</p>

5

<p>Bump bump bunp</p>

6

<p>hmm you look very strong for Cornell. Considering that you are Early Decision, I think you are probably in</p>

7

<p>Your CR score is a little low but within range, but otherwise very solid app. Surprised if you’re straight rejected, at worst a deferral imo. Good luck!</p>

<p>bump pppppppppppp</p>

9

<p>Math for the win, good job on the USAMO and etc.</p>

10

<p>third bump :))</p>

11

<p>SAT writting section has nothing to do with Cornell.So your Actual SAT should be 1440/1600</p>

12

<p>That sucks :(</p>

13

<p>Your SAT reading score is low, and your GPA could be a little higher. Also, your ECs are not very balanced, ‘academic stench’ - ivies don’t like this. </p>

<p>But, despite that, you have a very good chance at getting into Cornell ED. :)</p>

14

<p>Fourth bump :)</p>

15

<p>dont listen to nostalgia. Your SAT scores are well within range and it is a very good score. So dont worry about that.</p>

<p>Just inform us if u DIDNT get in coz i honestly think you will ;/</p>

16

<p>thank you every one!</p>

17

<p>another bump :)</p>

18

<p>You are in. USAMO qualifier, USAPhO Semifinal, State mathleague 2nd place, USAMTS silver, Plus research. Why didn’t you EA MIT/Caltech?</p>

19

<p>I did CalTech EA, which I think I have a slim shot; internationals can’t do MIT EA. :frowning: Do you think these competitions would work much for Cornell?</p>
