<p>sup guys :) I may apply to Cornell ED next year, and after I did some researches I came out with a few questions~</p>
<p>1) My mom pays tax in New York, so am I considered a New York resident (thus having a slight advantage maybe?) although I live in New Jersey? (does it depend on my school's location?) </p>
<p>2) My ACT score is wayyyyy better than my SAT score (32 > 1940), so should I submit only my ACT score? (although 95% of all applicants submitted their SAT scores in the previous year...)</p>
<p>thank you very much!</p>
<p>This will tell you all you need to know regarding NYS residency: [Cornell</a> University New York State Residency Application Form](<a href=“http://www.bursar.cornell.edu/NYS_Residency2.cfm]Cornell”>http://www.bursar.cornell.edu/NYS_Residency2.cfm)</p>
<p>Your mother might pay taxes in NYS, but if your primary domicile isn’t in NYS then you can’t claim residency.</p>
<p>if you do get new york state residency, it wont help you get in easier, but if you are applying for one of the state endowed (i think thats what its called?) colleges, then you pay much less tuition</p>
<p>and you can definitely send only your ACT.</p>
<p>i see…
lol my mom just told me that we even have an address that is registered in New York lol. epic fail lol </p>
<p>for Feral 24: but doesn’t Cornell’s stat shows that 30% of all the enrolling students come from NY while only 11% come from the New England region?</p>
<p>This percentage results from Cornell’s land-grant colleges being less expensive for NYS students. Thus, smart students from NY will often choose Cornell over other top-notch institutions based on tuition. Cornell will accept the best students and so the land grant colleges have a slightly disproportionate amount of New Yorkers. It might even be more competitive applying as a New Yorker because you are competing with the best students from NY to get a reduced price ivy-league education.</p>
