<p>Are you ****ing serious? Did you really think you were a shoe-in with a 1960 SAT?</p>
<p>
I'd recommend getting over that before arriving on campus ;)</p>
<p>Ya I know I have to remember that I'm not gonna get as high of a GPA as at my Freshman college lol. Oy veh, i hate thinking about how 50% of the people at Cornell are below average. So I just won't and I'll be positive about it! lol</p>
<p>I don't know how you could consider yourself a shoe in with a 1960 SAT and a 29 ACT regardless of extracurriculars and class rank.</p>

<p>Did you REALLY think you were a shoe-in? Cornell is definitely NOT that easy to get into. Unless you win the grand prize at Intel or Siemens or something... a 1960 will never cut it. I'm assuming you're not an URM also because if you were, you'd probably get in.</p>
