<p>he wont stop bothering if he can get into Cornell or not and he talks about it nonstop. Thus im hoping you guys can help him out, i personally am joining the peace corp and skipping college but heres his profile

His clubs are: NFL, Key club, games society, he and I are currently trying to bring Amnesty international back to our school(it faded away last year) and he is a Golfer and in Chess Club.
I think he plans to take the SAT IIs doing math and history.
he has about 40+ hours of community playing piano at old folk homes and such.
He plans to major in political science and i think he wants to minor in international relations. He recieved an A in government when he and I took it at the community college over the summer (i got a B, that ass!).</p>

<p>If i left anything out say so but be honest about this guy (i dont think he has much of a chance) Hes also thinking early desicion and im pretty sure hes taking SATs agn to get his scores up. Thus, be brutally honest with your words so that he has some1 else to listen to besides me.</p>

<p>Thanks, please post. = D</p>

2

<p>it would be a big reach</p>

3

<p>Very slim chances. Sorry!</p>

4

<p>Don't waste the ED.</p>

5

<p>4/6 GPA? Ouch. He isn't in the top 10%, his SAT scores are below the 25th percentile. Maybe he should try colleges like Tufts instead.</p>

6

<p>chances at Tufts w/b near zero</p>

7

<p>Ok yah i thought so, hopefully reading this he'll look for somewhere with better chances(i say instate). We actually looked at Tufts which is funny how you guys mentioned it.</p>

8

<p>Nice jab at Tufts, but I don't really see any chance of getting into either school.</p>

9

<p>Umm...Tufts is gonna be just as big a reach as Cornell.</p>

10

<p>Oh come on. He could get in. And his scores are around the 80th percentile, not lower than the 25th. It's kind of unlikely that he'll get into Cornell, but there's always a chance.</p>

11

<p>Your friend will be rejected.</p>

12

<p>Sure this friend isn't you? You seem to know a lot of details about your friend. It's okay, you can tell me. =]</p>

13

<p>Sorry his chances are really low...doesn't mean he shouldn't apply though...No chance at Tufts either...he should apply wherever knowing that it will be a reach</p>

14

<p>Tufts and Cornell are both reaches.</p>

15

<p>He (assuming it is him and not you, haha) has no chance at all of getting in, unless he happens to be a big-time athletic recruit for the school, or has connections up the wazoo. With those SAT and AP scores, I think state school is more of a realistic goal for him.</p>

16

<p>He should look at Bucknell and Lehigh -- and use his ED at one of those schools.</p>
