<p>i got a 2020 on the sats (1350M/V) do i even have a shot at cornell. everything else is pretty good, its just the SATs that are worrying me. i plan to take them again, but any opinons for now?</p>
<p>i got into cornell with a 1290. it's not all about SAT scores</p>
<p>sats dont mean jack</p>
<p>If everything else is good, then you'll do ok. People have got into Cornell (and other Ivies) with sub-2000 SATs.</p>
<p>look in the ED acceptances thread...I have seen people getting in w/ 1850's! I do believe the folks up at cornell when they say on their website that they take the entire application into consideration. After all, because it is so competitive now, they have to.</p>
<p>got waitlisted (CAS) with a 1550 (2320).
It matters what school you're applying to, and how amazing your essays are.</p>
<p>I got into Engineering with a 2000 (1330). Just provide a strong overall application and you have as good a chance as anyone.</p>
<p>putting SATs aside, how are your:
- gpa/rank
- extracurriculars
- etc etc</p>
<p>I know that all of the schools inside Cornell look at the entire person as a large part of the deciding factor. I think it's safe to say that for ILR, Hotel, and Architecture schools they look if the person will excel in the environment/major/goal and truly fit in with it. I don't know as much about the other ones since those 3 schools are pretty specific with what they look for...gl tho!</p>
<p>human ecology is pretty much the same way, what with majors like textiles and apparel, design and environmental analysis, nutrition.. you really have to display an interest in your field and they will evaluate how good of a fit you are for the school/major based on that and on your EC's, grades, etc. </p>
<p>if you are undecided and applying to say arts and sciences, well, that's an entirely different story. i would imagine that the raw scores and grades would count for much more there. but yeah, hotel, architecture, humec, ilr... are the schools that are a lot better about evuluating how the student will fit</p>
