<p>You have no SAT nor ACT scores, so come back later and tell us those. Otherwise, the rest of the application:
GPA-above expected ranges to good
Rank-unknown, but you better make sure there is no grade distribution chart on your school profile
SAT II-very good, but you need more; come back later and tell us those as well
APs-none, but taking seven to eight: competitive, assuming you get an average of at least 4
Awards-expected ranges, but check Ventures Scholar as this may a scam
ECs-scatterbox, but very good (A- class)
Summer Programs- If you get in to any of those programs listed for 11th grade, beyond excellent
Hooks-half URM</p>

<p>You have an excellent shot (Cornell takes ~35% of blacks) but you must have SAT scores to continue.</p>

<p>ok here we in terms of :
SAT2: ive taken like 4 practices on each...range is 770-800..on all /770 being the lowest i got.
the ventures scholar thing is nothing major but its not a scam...aimed toward urm's who are interested in math and sci...
im pretty sure im accepted to garcia..for the rest i have no idea...
urm status-i contacted cornell admissions office and they told me that i woudl be considered as a full urm.
and im not black...lol</p>

<p>****, I can't believe I called a Hispanic Black...sorry for that major transgression.
Ventures is not a scam, I see. Good, because I have become wary of too many of those type of things, including Questbridge. (Kicks himself for deleting all that stuff.)</p>
