I know I can get excellent recommendations, and I'm basically done with my essays. I think they're great, even though everyone on here says the same thing</p>

2

<p>I think you will be a highly competitive candidate with an excellent chance of admission.</p>

3

<p>Sameeeeeeee</p>

4

<p>i think you have a great chance of getting in (:</p>

5

<p>Hey I think you should take your SATs again. 'Cause Cornell sees only Math and CR and your Math is a little low. Rest everything sounds great. Best of luck.</p>

6

<p>I think you’re in good shape. You may want to take the ACT, which should offset your comparitively lower SAT I math score.</p>

7

<p>Is Hispanic really that much of a URM, they’re all over CC.</p>

8

<p>According to Cornell, any Hispanic regardless of race is considered a URM. Hispanics make up 11.5% of the entering class. </p>

<p>thanks for your input everyone! (:</p>

9

<p>You don’t need to take any more standardized tests. I shall place you at 85% to get into HumEc ED.</p>

<p>Plus, your SAT II Math2 outperformed your SAT score. Only if you were applying to Engineering would that math score really lower your chances in my book.</p>

10

<p>I think you have a great chance of getting in! Are you applying this year?</p>

11

<p>yesss (: are you applying to Cornell too?</p>

12

<p>If you get your SAT’s a bit up, I think you have an EXCELLENT chance.</p>

13

<p>hispanic = major boost. you have an excellent chance.</p>

14

<p>so I just found out I’m commended for National Merit. not that big of a deal, but I’m happy (: any more opinions?</p>

15

<p>btw I’m also getting a recommendation from the person I intern for. she LOVES me and I know she’s going to write an amazing recommendation, so would that significantly increase my chances?</p>

16

<p>fittingly enough your SAT is exactly their avg at the moment</p>

17

<p>Race is going to help you, I’d say that you are in, SAT’s could be improved, and I would retake them only if I was planning to apply to even harder schools, still though, cant hurt, I’d say that you are in regardless.</p>
