<p>bump to the bump</p>
<p>seriously- no replies? are you kidding me…</p>
<p>Your scores are a little low for Cornell (I’m also applying ED from Florida!)…but if you have a standout essay along with an admissions officer who likes your ECs you could have a chance. write a really strong essay.</p>
<p>Hard to tell.</p>
<p>I knew MANY people who applied to MIT. (2 years ago)
Almost all of them had extremely high test scores and high GPAs and good to decent ECs.</p>
<p>Only one got into MIT.
One with low numbers but the kid was from single parent low income family.</p>
<p>Nobody can chance you at “the top colleges”. They are all automatic reaches unless you have hooks or some incredible ECs.</p>
<p>U Florida is a low match then.</p>
<p>is a low match better or worse than a high match- sorry not used to those terms</p>
<p>bumpity bump- please chance me will chance back!</p>
<p>what do you mean by a “low score”? is that around my score range (1900-2000) or is it different? I mean that’s a pretty ambiguous response- I have a friend who considers a low score a 2100 but I have another friend who considers an 1800 high.</p>
<p>“Low score” means low for the Ivy League and also places like Northwestern and Tufts. Look at each school’s Common Data Sets (most schools participate in this, just Google “common data set [school]”) to find reliable middle 50% scores.</p>
<p>UF should be fine for you. The others, obviously, are reaches because they would be reaches for many strong applicants. Most schools nowadays talk about how they have extremely qualified applicants but have to turn them down because there are simply too many. The Ivies would be no exception. Northwestern and Tufts are the same way.</p>
<p>Also, it depends on your major.</p>
<p>deep down I know the schools are reaches, because they’re extremely selective and even someone with a 2400 will get rejected from some of these schools. idk, I guess I’m just so nervous and anxious that I just want people to tell me what I want to hear</p>
<p>bumpity bump bump</p>
<p>please chance me :)</p>
<p>A low match offers better chances of getting in than a high match.</p>
<p>so you’re really that confident that I’d get into UF?</p>
<p>I mean I know that my scores are a bit mediocre to these schools’ standards, but I think I more than make up for it in basically every other category- I have 4 internships, and over 1200 community service hours! I have a perfect GPA, and a 5.03/6.0 weighted GPA, and I skipped 11th grade. I’m also a minority and live with a single mother, who makes under 20k a year- what else could you ask for in a hook? Not to mention that I’m in a bunch of clubs and am a triathlete- not to mention the captain of a sports team! </p>
<p>Seriously, are all those factors negated simply because my scores aren’t that up to par? I mean I did score a 34 in English, that has to count for something…</p>
<p>Only your test scores are a bit low, but you seem to have decent ECs (Nice to see you lay a lot of emphasis on sports, I dont want to stereotype but it’s good to see that in a fellow Asian).
Also your GPA seems decent.
And since you have applied ED to Cornell, I think you have a very good shot there 
Depends highly on your essays though. How were your essays? And LORs?
All the best bud :D</p>
<p>My general Commonapp was good IMO because it shows all the struggles I’ve endured and my accomplishments, plus it has been reviewed a few times by my AP Lit teacher who is a grammar/literary genius. My supplements were also good because they explained a few ECs that pertained to my major (business/economics) and showed my I would love to go to Cornell. I’m not one to judge because they are perfect for what I want them to do- show my struggles and explain myself as a person- there isn’t too much nonsense/wit in them.</p>
<p>As far as LORs, I got one from my bio teacher who has a PhD and he seems fond of me. My second LOR loves me, but she’s a social studies teacher- does that really hurt? I couldn’t get English because I took my classes virtually and my math doesnt do LORs.</p>
<p>thanks man!</p>
