Not in Top Ten Percent??

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I am ranked 25/205 and am in the 12.1%, do you think that by not being in the top ten I will be adversely affected in cornell ed to CAS, my sat scores are in the range, 1420/2140, 760 math IIC, 750 BIOM with good ecs, recs, and essays ,</p>

<p>The majority of their students are in the top 10%. Once again, you have a chance, but it might be slightly harder because they don't see those single digits.</p>

<p>Wow, I'm surprised at the chart. Almost 90% top decile.</p>

5

<p>my school doesn't rank....is that bad?</p>

<p>rohan. Your school wouldn't be the only one in the nation. Shouldn't affect you.</p>

7

<p>no school in my county ranks. but if you look at your entire class vs yourself, you could probably tell where you fall</p>

<p>If your school doesn't rank, it won't hurt you at all. Many schools got rid of ranking in the last decade. The Valedictorian/Saluditorian are usually the only ones that get hurt by not being ranked...in those cases, the counselor recommendation could mention the student's status as Val or Sal.</p>

<p>HumEc and ILR are are 94% and 91%, respectively. Nice. </p>

<p>It's also interesting to see the trends in the 'no rank' category, 17% in 1987 to 58% last year.</p>

<p>i'm not in the top 10% (uw)</p>

11

<p>dude, i wasnt even top 50%, with a 2230 sat and 3.9 uw gpa. don't even worry about it.</p>

12

<p>yeah top decile shouldn't be a determining factor.... i know various ppl who have gotten accepted with a 3.5 uw and pretty nice SATs. i go to a school where 15 of top 20 students all applied ED to Yale and they all have an equally probable chance. But i'm still screwed even for the CALS school</p>

13

<p>haah wow. thank god my school doesnt rank. my rank is 80/120 with a 3.0 gpa.. lol</p>

<p>Jimgo, even with that GPA you don't stand to much of a chance to be honest. Being in Jersey doesn't help much either I'm afraid.</p>
