Estimate my GF's chances for Cornell (not your typical scenario)

<p>Will let you guys know. She’s applying for early decision on Nov. 1st so we should know within a month or so of then and I’ll update you guys.</p>

Yea, I’m sure the aunt will help quite a bit, I was just wondering if anyone’s had a similar situation and how much it helped them.</p>

<p>We have been dating 2 years already and I’m fully in love with her. I don’t know how my post conveyed otherwise. I stated I was willing to go to an environment I hate for 4 years to be with her. Thank you for your advice but we are going to be together in college.</p>

<p>Personally I think it’s crap when people do the whole “if it’s meant to be, then we’ll still be together even if we go to schools on the opposite side of the country.” That’s setting your relationship up for failure and I find it the equivalent to “I’m going to cheat on you, but if it’s meant to be then we’ll still end up together.” I’m going to spend 4 years in college, but the next 60-80 years with her. I don’t see how college is more important than a life partner.</p>

<p>Edit: Sorry for the thread derailing rant, let’s stay on topic.</p>
