<p>Hey guys. I was thinking of applying to Cornell School of Human Ecology. I'm currently a senior at the number one ranked private school in CT. I have a 3.6 GPA and 1820 on the SAT (CR: 580 Math: 700). Both my parents went to Cornell Undergrad and then both went to Cornell Medical School. My uncle also went to Cornell Undergrad and Cornell Business school. I was just wondering would it even be worth applying to Human Ecology. Would applying ED help since I'm a legacy? Do I have any chance of even being considered. I've also taken AP Calc 1, AP BC Calc, AP Environmental, and AP Macroeconomics. Thanks</p>
<p>Even with the legacy and applying ED, your GPA is on the low side and your SAT is very low. You would have to pull both of those up to be competitive. </p>
<p>You should get your SAT up since it’s kind of lopsided, but if you’re a double legacy with a 3.6 from Choate, go ahead and apply. The old New England prep schools and the Ivy League have had a long-standing relationship and the matriculation rates reflect that. I’d take some subject tests and maybe the ACT just to make sure, but as long as your course rigor and class rank are both considered competitive, you can probably invest in a heavy winter coat now. </p>
<p>Don’t make me eat my words. Good luck! </p>
<p>As I said in your other post, retake and increase your SAT score (or ACT) and you could get admitted GT via ED due to your legacy status. I think it’s common for legacies with lower stats to get that GT option. You stand a better chance if you score 2100+ on your SAT or if your parents have donated big big $. </p>
<p>Guys should I take the ACT I have extra time which one would be easier I’m more of a math guy </p>
<p>Take a few timed practice tests at home to see which you like better. Some do significantly better on one over the other.</p>
