<p>-I moved right smack in the middle of Freshman Year, and my GPA/Rank suffered tremendously because of it, it took me all of frosh year to adapt, and starting sophomore year I was back on track. GPA: (9, 3.6) (10, 4.1) (11, 4.3) HUGE Upward Trend..
-REALLY good Recommendations from Teachers/Guidance.
-Put a lot of time in my essays as well, all been thoroughly checked.</p>

<p>I've always taken the most challenging courses offered at my school (i.e all honors if not AP)</p>

<p>I know this is a lot, but if you guys can help me out that would be great! Thanks</p>

2

<p>bump please.</p>

3

<p>What school/major?</p>

4

<p>College of Arts and Sciences: Biology</p>

<p>I was to apply early decision but I changed my mind at the last minute.</p>

5

<p>hmm, no one can give me input?</p>

6

<p>xindianx, ur scores are very average and so are ur grades...but u have strong extra curriculars...
My advice: study hard and try to be among the top 5 next term; rewrite SAT-1 and if u want...Math IIC</p>

7

<p>we don't have a next term, rankings are done per year, and the sat iscore I have with the 1400 math and verbal is my last sat, although I may decide to take math iic in january. I don't really believe my 1400 plus 680 writing is average, it's well within cornell's middle 50th percentile, and my grades are explained through my essays and guidance recommendation (read the hook about the transfer). anyone else with input?</p>

8

<p>your gpa is on the lower end, and your SAT's are average. It may be tough for you to get in.</p>

<p>MAth SAT 2 is also kinda low, but the BIo and History are good</p>

9

<p>i'd say you have a good chance. but don't expect to coast on your numbers because they're not good enough to coast past 20000 others. you'll need strong essays, really strong essays.</p>

10

<p>xindianx, well...i don't c what middle 50th percentile is other that average...let me rephrase my statement...ur scores are AVERAGE CORNELL STANDARD... to seal ur acceptance, u might wanna improve them because u have good ec's...
All the Best :D (OH!!! I love these hotkeys...learnt them only yesterday)</p>

11

<p>whoooops, I meant Sat II Math I, not Math II, sorry about that, the curve for the Math I is much harsher.</p>
