3

<p>wow thats weird you got a higher score in 1c</p>

4

<p>Does that Professor know you on a very personal level? If so, then you're fine, if otherwise, don't bother sending it.</p>

<p>You're families situation definitely helps you out ACT/SAT fine, GPA is not good, and ranking is not good. Get yourself into an interview and explain that, and you should be fine.</p>

5

<p>Yes, the professor knows me on a very very personal level. It won't be anything less than perfect.</p>

6

<p>Good :) Hope too see you there.</p>

7

<p>Thanks, anyone else?</p>

<p>thanks ;)

<p>Yeah pretty much welcome to Cornell. </p>

<p>I mean your situation is disadvantaged and you still managed to get a 30 on the ACT. Which by conversion is about a 2010, 90+ Percentile. Great SAT II scores, slightly low GPA but with reasons and upward trend sort of proves it.</p>

11

<p>pshh i kno people who've gotten in on worse stats and they have like a perfect life.</p>

12

<p>any others?</p>

13
