<p>Thank you so much</p>

<p>im sorry i cant respond, im not nice,</p>

3

<p>I say you have a really good chance. I think your chance of getting in would be close to 90% if you do ED.</p>

4

<p>yeah, i agree with ecc</p>

5

<p>I wouldn't say 90% by any means, but I'd say you have a legitimate shot ED with a creative application.</p>

<p>I like the authoring part, emphasize that when applying if it's important to you.</p>

6

<p>i say the chances at Cornell ED is 100 %</p>

7

<p>It's a joke to give 100%, actually be useful please. I do think that if you ED you have a good chance to get in. Best of luck!</p>

<p>You seem like the type of guy that does a lot of stuff, but doesn't do anything hardcore.</p>

<p>You have slightly higher scores than me on the SAT (except math) and virtually the same GPA, and SAt II's are in the same ballpark as me. The thing I did focus on was my commitment and leadership. I told them about my experiences as captain on track, captian on chess team, and editor on yearbook. I also told them of my summer science research, which zapped about 40 hours a week the whole summer.</p>

<p>In conclusion, try to show some activities you are very involved with.</p>

<p>doesnt do anything hardcore??? the kid wrote a book for godsakes</p>

<p>100%, 90%? Come on people, I would be very cautionary about his chances: yes, he has good scores, stats, ec's, etc, but there are tons of students who get rejected with similar ones every year. Think about this: There were about 22,000 students who were rejected from Cornell last year, and many of them had amazing credentials, similar or better than these. You would find some brilliant applicants among those 22,000. Most people applying to Cornell are exceptional students, with what they think is, at the very least, a decent shot at getting in. There aren't many who apply just to waste their parents money on another application fee, that is, just for the hell of it. A guidance counselor is not going to let a kid apply who is ranked 75th out of 300 students with a 1100 SAT apply, unless there he/she has a special hook like a recruited athlete. There are two things I could see that could hurt him: (1) he might have no idea what field he is interested in or what college he is applying to and the match between the applicant's talents/skills/interest and the chosen field is of monumental importance to Cornell and (2) I am not sure the ec's demonstrate a focus or passion for that field. One more thing: this candidate is considered overrepresented in the admissions pool.</p>

<p>oh my. these analyses are like putting a camel thru the eye of the needle, or splitting that hair. alot of baloney.</p>

12

<p>^^^I think that's what most people come here looking for. They want to know what areas they could improve in.</p>

<p>Sure, I could tell him "You have great credentials. Don't worry about admissions," but how much good would that do? From what I know of people asking of their chances, every one wants to have suggestions on what they can improve. If they thought they were good enough, they wouldn't never asked.</p>
