<p>in in in in</p>

<p>i wouldnt be so sure about that...cornell doesn't sat whore like some other "selective" schools. waht school are you applying to, and what for? cornell takes that stuff into heavy consideration.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a good chance in RD. Apply ED somewhere that has a lower acceptance.</p>

<p>The stats are great, so don't worry about that, it's just the passion that I'm looking for...u have 3 ec's...don't you do more important things outside of just school work (although the ec's you listed are good...just not great compared to other applicants)? That's what I mean</p>

<p>I dont know enough about you to make any type of informed decision. </p>

<p>Your scores seem to be in line, but your rank and ECs are not spectacular. Either way, you definitely have a shot if your application shows creativity and uniqueness.</p>

<p>Dont listen to anyone saying "in in in" or "dont waste your ED on Cornell" because they have no ******* clue what theyre talking about. Applying ED shows that youre dedicated and will definitely help your chances.</p>

<p>Ironic that the 2 who said that aren't going there (lol no offense tho) :)</p>

<p>thanks so much guys!</p>

<p>to sinewave, im applying to CAS and want to major in bio, and do some stuff with art and sociology (im writing my essays on these three things also, and i think they're pretty good) </p>

<p>btw im an asian male NJ resident so that could potentially hurt me</p>

<p>if i apply ED will cornell also take into consideration 1st marking period grades? our school works on a quarter system so first SEMESTER grades wont come out until late january 2007 for me.</p>

<p>oh and i also plan on sending art slides to show them some of my work, dunno if that will help or not</p>

<p>Just in case you get defered you want to keep those grades up. You don't want them to be the reason you don't get in.</p>

<p>ow that hurt
