<p>Well being accepted or not is a crap shot when you are in the higher ranges you know? I think you are competitive. One thing tho is that your sat cum. is not that high compared that of the other students but I mean if you are applying cas math matters a little bit more so idk. Well… I bid you good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply Matrix. My SAT’s are actually above average for Cornell and CAS, but aren’t terribly high. My ACT is the 75th percentile, SAT is slightly below that. What I am really asking for I guess is an evaluation based on EC’s and GPA with my test scores. Thanks again, and thanks in advance for replies.</p>

<p>I’ll say 60%.</p>
