<p>I have sent my application to Cornell, regular decision as an engineer, although it is, without a doubt, my #1 school. I am extremely nervous about whether or not I will get in, so I was wondering what others thought of my odds...
SAT: 2250 (1530 w/o writing)
ACT: 34
Subject Tests: 800 Math 2 and 700 Chemistry
APs: 5 in Stats and Calc, going to take Physics, Chem, and English this year
Class Rank: 1 out of 300ish
GPA: 4.30
Essay: so-so
Ethnicity: White male
Other stuff: I'm in lots of clubs and do a lot of volunteer work (I'm on the First Aid Squad) and my uncle is in the Hall Of Fame for Track at Cornell. I also have had a job for about 3 1/2 years now.</p>
<p>I would say you have a 21% chance of getting in (or whatever the acceptance rate was last year)</p>
<p>Thats a pretty dumb answer. Thanks alot!</p>
<p>I say about 2% chance of getting in</p>
<p>And my logic for that hypothesis is:</p>
<p>I know a kid who was accepted into Cornell with in the last few years, here is his profile
SAT 2270 (1510ish w/o writing)
Class Rank: no where as good as yours
Extra corricular: Lots of volunteer work and after school activities (no class offices)
Four AP's (I think) and SAT subject tests in Math I: 730, Math II: 800 (and a few others, which as I remember were similar to the math I score)</p>
<p>Why do you worry. You're legacy, have a life outside of school, and you've done extremely well in school. I would bet my left nut that you'll get in. Your profile was way better than mine when I applied and I still got in (somehow).</p>
<p>Other than your courseload, looks great.</p>
<p>where are u from.. if you are not from the northeast you will get in 100%, if you are, you will get in 90%
and i go to cornell btw</p>
<p>Ya you look like you have a solid position there. Id say high seventies percent wise that you get in.</p>
