<p>denggggg this sucks.</p>

8

<p>dont let their comments prevent you from applying. you gotta take risks in life. cornell is worth a shot. your ecs and essays may help</p>

9

<p>what puzzles me is that they all put reject at USC and UCSD where I felt I had a shot</p>

10

<p>Low AP scores usually means your school is easy.</p>

11

<p>Well he didn't even do good in those classes.</p>

12

<p>wow this is tough.....im ranked 11/600</p>

13

<p>While you do need to take risks in life, I would recommend calculated risks rather than shots in the dark. And while it may be OK to apply to Cornell since it is your favorite, the real problem is your entire list, not one school. </p>

<p>Unlike many Chances threads, I think the posters have actually given you a pretty good assessment of your list. The take home message is that it's too high, you need to lower your sights and have more match and safety schools, or you are likely to be very dissapointed next spring. While it's true that EC's and essays may help, they are seconday factors to grades, difficulty of course selection and test scores. </p>

<p>My advice would be to take the things that you like about Cornell, UChicago, etc, and find schools with similar qualities but are not as selective.</p>

14

<p>So should i even apply.........</p>

15

<p>lol if you have a safety and several matches youre fine, no matter how many reaches you have
if i were you, id apply to all those schools because it doesnt hurt. its not like youre going to be rejected from all of those schools</p>

16

<p>Do w/e you want kid it's your life.</p>

17

<p>Well do you think ill actually get into one of the reaches?? If not ill just look for more schools. Aside from SC and Cornell, im not really attatched to them.</p>
