<p>im an international student in the states... I want to apply for an early decision to cornell engineering school this fall. My stats are not at all great compared to the other applicants but one of the main reason i chose to study in america was because i wanted to go to Cornell university.. people including my parents are keep telling me that cornell is too high for me and that i should stop dreaming and face the reality..they tell me to apply to a state school for an early decision so i can get over with college stuff quickly ..im mostly concerned with my low GPA..i had 4.0 in my sohomore year but 3.5 in my junior year because of a C+ i got in an Ap class.. regardless of my poor stats...i really want to go to cornell...</p>
