<p>Applying to Cornell College of Engineering for Engineering Physics</p>

7

<p>Don’t send your math SAT II. Pretty good ECs. I think you’re in everywhere but Carnegie Mellon could be a small reach for you.</p>

<p>Pleasechanceme :slight_smile: [Chances</a> for Stanford / Wharton / few others - College Confidential](<a href=“http://■■■■■■/6OHy9]Chances”>http://■■■■■■/6OHy9)</p>

<p>Thanks! bumppppppp</p>

<p>bumppppppppppp</p>

10

<p>you don’t have to send all of your scores to cornell.
IF you choose to send SAT scores, THEN you have to send them all.</p>

11

<p>I think you’ll get into Cornell! Your SAT is a little lower than they like, but you are clearly very smart and a minority student! Good luck!</p>

12

<p>ignore the SAT. your ACT is golden, as are your grades and your URM status–you’re basically me with fifty more A’s on your transcript, hahaha. you’re fine for all, bro</p>

13

<p>thanks! bumppp</p>

14

<p>bumppppppp</p>

15

<p>You should get into Cornell ED if your essays/recs turn out decent because you have a good ACT, good GPA, URM status, OK EC’s.</p>

16

<p>Thanks! I’m also applying to Cooper Union and Rice University. Even though I’m Hispanic (Spain), will that be countered by the fact I’m almost equally Filipino and a small percentage caucasian?</p>

17

<p>I believe you only have to report one race/ethnicity. (By the way, Hispanic is treated differently: you can be white and hispanic, as spanish people are, or even Asian and hispanic, as an Asian born in Mexico would probably be.)</p>

18

<p>bumppppppppp</p>

19

<p>I don’t know what people are saying, but Spanish people are not URM. They are the exception to hispanics (I believe). Either way, you should be all right since your ACT score is very good.</p>
