<p>@foreverfish whoa! That’s news. Check out this graph though.</p>
<p>[Cornell</a> University - GPA and Test Scores Needed for Admission](<a href=“http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/cornell-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm]Cornell”>Cornell University: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores)</p>
<p>By almost no weight, he meant like, there’s almost no difference in their eyes, between a 34 ACT and a 36 ACT.</p>
<p>But if you have <30 ACT, it will certainly be a lot harder for you. That’s not to say it’s impossible. But as long as you are in the “range”, your standardized test score won’t matter.</p>
<p>@Sophia, that makes a lot more sense :P</p>
<p>I think sophia has it right. Cuz then why would the SAT even be required? I remember reading that MIT doesnt distinguish between scores above a 700</p>
<p>There is likely some sort of cut associated with SAT/ACT scores. Beyond a certain threshold, the score doesn’t matter because of the varying curves and such. Also, I was wondering does Cornell consider your WGPA in addition, obviously, to the unweighted?</p>
<p>^probably, like I said, MIT stops differentiating after 700. Plus, the difference between a 700 and an 800 is only a couple of questions. Usually careless errors</p>
<p>Cornell is unique in the Ivy League. When you have people majoring in agriculture endeavors, applying with portfolios to the art school, or trying to get into the hotel school - it’s a lot about a person’s talents, demonstrated interests, goals. Some of these people come with lower SAT’s and GPA’s than those in maybe A&S and engineering. Cornell doesn’t care…it’s all about “fit” for them. you have to make the case.</p>
<p>Why my application status still hasn’t updated yet? Anyone hasn’t received the notification date like me? Maybe Cornell forgets me already.</p>
<p>@quanlude - you’re not the only one.</p>
<p>What @Sophia said. Basically, according to the adcom, test scores mainly reflect how much money your parents have – they’re well aware that some applicants can afford to take prep classes for the tests, while others can’t.</p>
<p>Sorry if I confused anyone, haha.</p>
<p>@quanlude - Haven’t updated mine either, what if they’re already hatin’ on me? :’(</p>
<p>Hey, where are you and what college did you applied?</p>
<p>Ohh waitt, they just updated it, Thank God</p>
<p>@quanlude - Hey, I’m am international student from Pakistan and I’ve applied early to the Hotel School, what about you?</p>
<p>Yeah, mine is updated as well! Happy now! I think it is related to region. I’m from China and applied to CAS.</p>
<p>Mine is updated as well! Applied from Middle East</p>
<p>Mine is updated as well. 11 days!</p>
<p>So how many hotelies here?</p>
<p>How does everybody know that the date for the results is dec. 16??
I didn’t get an email about it, nor do I see any information about it on my cornell application.
Please help!</p>
