<p>Cornell ED @ CoE. Major: Computer Science => Software Engineering.
I know my AP comp sci score is a 4, but that's because i transferred in the middle of the year, and my teacher didn't teach me Java well. I was used to C.</p>

<p>anyone? lol</p>

<p>Don't stress too much over the math; 730 is the 75th percentile for Cornell kids. SATs have weird scores; I missed 1 math question and received a 780, so if you just miss 1 less your score should go up 50 points or thereabouts.
I'm only a rising senior/ Cornell hopeful, but I know kids with much worse resumes who got into Cornell this year. Also, your resume is very similar to mine (good math/science guys, decent at English, respectable ECs, etc) and all of my teachers/senior friends have said I'll have no trouble getting into Cornell.
Good luck.</p>

4

<p>Oh. all right thanks!
:D
good luck to you too.
Yeah, the math on SAT I is brutal.</p>

5

<p>yeah, I kicked myself when looked at the question I got wrong; it was so stupid of me.</p>

6

<p>^ haha.
Dude I know what you mean!
SAT math is completely different. It's more finding tricks in it than actually using math.</p>

7

<p>yeah, I'd say that's a fair assessment.</p>
