<p>Bahaha I’m sorry the dairy goat association thing killed me. Not doing any advanced coursework is worrisome but your extracurriculars are actually pretty impressive</p>
<p>Sent from my XT907 using CC</p>
<p>I think you look great! Don’t tell them you “didn’t have time” for anything tho. Just don’t mention it.</p>
<p>Yep, I know I’m a bit odd. Haha, makes my friends laugh all the time.</p>
<p>I know that is my concern 
Thanks for your opinion though!</p>
<p>@ineedananswer- thanks! Seriously just make me feel A LOT better!</p>
<p>Well one thing for sure, is the GPA is REALLY good. I’m amazed to be honest, not a lot of 4.0s but also what class are you? I assume you’re a Junior in high school but if you are I suggest taking another SAT? Get a higher score and you should be fine.</p>
<p>You’re welcome. I know how you feel. I am literally sitting here with my Common App open going “should I apply… should I not apply?” </p>
<p>What do your essays look like, strong? They have to be to make up for SAT. Make sure you get some proof readers.</p>
<p>I’m a senior. Really the reason I have a 4.0 is because I take all regular classes, which to be honest are REALLY EASY for me. I’m afraid its too late to take the SAT again, I have never tested well…</p>
<p>@ineedananswer- I hope my essays were good enough (knocks on wood). They described all my strange animal stuff. I don’t know, I hope they like them!</p>
<p>your “oddness”-the dairy goat, animal science, makes you a really impressive applicant.excellent GPA.SATs?you need to do some work there.you can still getin with a strong essay though.it shud span your interest in the areas you mentioned i would suggest.i would admit you.</p>
<p>Low rigor and the low SAT will hurt you, making it a reach. Though you have unique ECs which will make you stand out. Go for it but know that Cornell is a reach…</p>
<p>Thanks I know its a reach do to rigor and SATs but I am hoping (since they are big on fit) it works out. </p>
<p>@colkorir- thanks! If only you were an admissions officer :D</p>
<p>Anyone else? Really appreciate everyones’ opinions!</p>
<p>Bump. Really appreciate anyone’s opinion.</p>
<p>Do you have a safety school? Just wondering, I think your chances are pretty good, but it never hurts to have a school to fall back on.</p>
<p>I do, I have UC Davis as a safety.</p>
<p>PS thanks for the encouragement</p>
<p>High reach. Your EC’s are quite impressive, but you lack the major fundamentals of a strong app: a strong SAT score and a rigorous course-load. Colleges won’t think highly of your 4.0 because you didn’t really challenge yourself. Sorry if I sound harsh, but you shouldn’t get your hopes up too much. Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks for your opinion. I know I REALLLY lack scores and rigor just hoping for the best.</p>
<p>THIS IS A DUMB THREAD! no offense. You are totally going to get in, who cares about your SAT your ECs are incredible.</p>
