<p>Well yeh, thats what I was told too, I guess just being amongst kids who are getting 3.5 makes me feel weird !!</p>

<p>But do you think i will be able to get into Cornell for Gradschool, with great GRE scores, great research and internship with good EC' s ??</p>

<p>The financial engineering is naturally the most competitive because of job prospects, so I don't know.</p>

<p>My guess (rather uninformed though) is that you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Hey foxdie, if it is so competitive then what makes you think that i have a good chance ?</p>

<p>Bud, I got into a very competative masters program at cornell and didnt even send in the GREs, I think they look more at if you can prove you ar ea fit for the program you are applying to. BTW, I am not suggesting you skip the GREs, most departments probably wont even look at you if you dont, but it just goes to show, numbers are not everything.</p>

<p>You seem like an ample candidate. You have very good chances of getting in in my opinion.</p>
