Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Sorry for making another post but I think I decided on which Cornell college to ED. CALS seems to fit what I am looking for as a business undergrad. Here are my stats:
***** In the statistics from last year, 3 people with around my average were accepted to CALS ED but the year before that wasn't so great. Is there any explanation for the increase of acceptances excluding their EC's (mainly because I do not know what they are)</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian
Citizenship: US
School: One of the best high schools in NY</p>

<p>Class Rank: Grades are so similar that there is no class rank.
GPA: 91.8 (3.6-3.7)
SAT Scores (they suck)
Math: 700
Writing: 680 Essay: 10
Critical Reading: 630
***I just took the Oct one and I HOPE I did a lot better ( I'm feeling at least a 2100!! )</p>

<p>SAT IIS: WIll be taking US and Math Level 2 in Nov (WIll they count towards my application?)</p>

<p>5APs: US: 4, Language: 4, World: 3, currently taking AB Calc and Macro/Micro</p>

<p>ECs: 3 years of Lacrosse
2 years of Wrestling
2 years of Ping Pong Club (Co president and co founder of the club)
6+ years of volunteering at a tutoring center during weekends and during the summer
2 years of volunteering at a rehabilitation center</p>

<p>Common App Ess: I wrote about the time when I decided to earn my own money by starting a small sale so I could stop wasting my parents' money. This is just the gist of it.</p>

<p>I heard AEM accepts very few applicants but focuses on leadership and interest. Is it true that standardized test scores at not as important compared to other Cornell schools? Do my EC's fit what AEM is looking for? All answers are welcomed and thank you for helping!!! It would be real nice if a current AEM student could give me some feedback as well!
*My SAT score is low but i have a good feeling it will be a lot higher when I get my results back</p>

<p>From what I know (research and a brother who goes there) I’d say you have a pretty fair shot, Cornell is typically the easiest of the Ivy Leagues to get into and yes, AEM does not typically view sat/act test scores as incredibly important. My Brother is a sophomore as has very similar stats as you listed above. goodluck!</p>

<p>Noaheve thanks for bringing my hopes up! If you don’t mind, can you ask your brother if his essay was particularly astounding or unique in anyway? Do you think my essay fits what the colleges is looking for?</p>

<p>He said his college essay was about a summer he spent volunteering in upstate NY to help with hurricane clean up, it was a good topic but he is not a fantastic writer and the essay reflected that. He thought the idea for your essay seems like a promising idea and should be a great essay so long as you execute it well and have a good underlying them/idea/message in the essay. </p>

<p>Once again thanks! I’m just really worried because it has a really low admissions rate. Last year they accepted only 99 students!</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot, but as with anyone, it’s a coin flip… Thanks for chancing me! </p>
