<p>Chances at Cornell, anyone?</p>

2

<p>Unless you get recruited for a sport it's not happening.</p>

3

<p>better practice that tennis then.</p>

4

<p>You don't have a great chance--probably less of a chance than the average applicant--but, then, I think Cornell has the highest acceptance of the Ivies, so it's possible. Good luck.</p>

5

<p>I think you would be better suited for Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Here are the stats: SAT Reasoning Verbal: 560 - 680 30% submit
SAT Reasoning Math: 550 - 680 30% submit
ACT Composite: 23 - 29 86% submit</p>

6

<p>Well Cornell would be a reach, but still apply there. If you have an outstanding essay and great recs, that might increase your chances.</p>

7

<p>if your ranked number 2 in your class and only have a 1950 on the sat, you must go to an easy school. the guy ranked 9 in my class has a 2300 and the guy ranked number 3 has a 2380.</p>

8

<p>wow
harsh
Which college at cornell are you applying to? A demonstrated interest can be the greatest determinant at some of the colleges.</p>

9

<p>large reach.</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinions. I am applying to the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences. Its not that our school is easy by any means, I am just not good at standardized tests. We have a few kids with 2250 and over. It was my reach school so we'll see how it goes.</p>

<p>The ACT is stronger, and in Cornell's range. I think that you have a shot with that great GPA and rank, and your ECs seem to be solid. </p>

<p>Rank does not correlate with test scores. I did poorly on my tests (28 ACT), and did ok after some prep. I got a 32 (33 superscored) and am 18 at my school because it doesn't weight and I took the hardest classes possible (probably would be 2nd if our school ranked). My twin got a 34 with no prep, and is just really good at tests. His rank is in the 50s. Even with rank, he would probably only be top 20 at best.</p>

12

<p>i think some ppl are jus bad testers. if they have low SATs and high GPAs, it doesn't necessarily mean grade inflation</p>

13

<p>bman14 is definitely wrong....like the above poster said...SAT scores dont tell u how good the student is at school...</p>

14

<p>Your GPA is high and ECs are fine, if a bit run of the mill. You should apply but it's a definite reach.</p>

15

<p>Thanks again. Does anyone know which college at Cornell is the easiest/hardest to get accepted?</p>

16

<p>40% chance!</p>

17

<p>my essays must have been amazing because i got in.</p>

<p>Congratulations! I hope to join you there next year!</p>
