<p>i expect very good recs from teachers, but I'm worried about the essays . . .</p>
<p>I really like Cornell, went to visit, and it was ana amazing experience. I really didn't care a lot about American universities till I visited some of the campuses and it just seems like I'll get a better education in a better atmosphere there. If i had known before, I would had taken my SATs earlier and applied ED.</p>
<p>Chances? thanks ahead of time</p>
<p>Also, anyone have stats for the number of international applicants to Cornell? I don't think it's on the statistics site . . .
thanks again</p>
<p>I'm applying as an international from Canada for RD too. I heard competition's tough. My friend last year who got 1580 SATs (800M, 780V), high GPA, good EC's, recs, etc. got rejected. He eventually went to Uchicago though. Good luck.</p>

<p>Honestly, either your definition of good EC's is very inaccurate, or the guy lied on his app or did something stupid. Cause 2 ppl from my hs last year went to cornell and they both had subpar stats compared to normal cc users</p>
<p>well my friend was an international applicant so it's tougher...
as for his EC's, he had some kind of national chess recognition, did a lot of swimming work, was a lifeguard, taught swimming lessons, varsity swimming, etc.</p>
<p>my stats are: 700V 800M 740W, 800mathii, 800chinese, 780physics
97gpa, no class ranking, toughest courseload</p>
<p>AP grades: Calc BC - 5, Physics C Mech - 5, Physics C E&M - 5, US History - 4</p>
<p>Varsity fencing captain

Marching band, jazz band, symphonic band...
Intern at Novartis (engineering department)</p>
<p>Volunteer in library, local chinese school
went to china, volunteered at an orphanage</p>
<p>Any idea how many Canadian applicants apply each year and how many get in?</p>
<p>^^phroz3n, why did you take chinese SAT II?
and you are so MATHY!!! Ivies like people who are linguistic and stuff. But other than that, you are awesome</p>
<p>I took chinese satii in my sophomore year, after studying a lot in Chinese school, so I thought it would be better to just take it and get it over with. Hah yeah, I am "mathy"...taking Calc 3 and soon, differential equations, which I find both very interesting. However, I also like to read, and I find all kinds of history (us, euro, chinese) interesting as well.</p>
<p>I think the admissions rate for canadians is probably lower since so many apply. I'm not sure though, since few schools release this kind of data.</p>
