Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Ok, so I took the SAT for the third time in May and I did hideously:</p>

<p>720CR
730M (should be getting 800)
670W (ridiculous, usually get full marks for the MCs - 8 on the essay.. let down)</p>

<p>That makes a 2120..
I know I can get 800 for M, and possibly a 800 for W. CR is really as good as it is going to get for me though.</p>

<p>Does Cornell accept score choice? If so, should I retake for a 4th time? Also, thats make 1450 CR + M (1490 Super-score).. so does it only look at CR+M?</p>

<p>Please stop with the I did “hideously”, my high school currently has 5 students attending Cornell & none of them had SAT’s in the 1400’s…</p>

<p>Oh… does Cornell only look at M+CR?</p>

<p>make up for the math on the SAT II if you want ;)</p>

<p>how do your scores compare with your classmates who might apply to cornell? if they’re similar i wouldnt worry too much :)</p>

<p>As far as I know, another student has a 2200 and he is applying. His IB predicted is about the same as mine but his ECs/Leadership are much worse. I think he is the only other student applying and has the highest SAT score in my class. I know I can get a 2300 if I only concentrate on Math and Writing but I would have to take the SAT for a fourth time.</p>

<p>Also, I am now going to apply ED.
I also read up and saw that my Math and CR score are in the top 25% for Cornell.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot. I heard I am a very good fit for Wharton (Upenn) which has been my dream school for the past 4 years. I was going to apply there ED but with this SAT score my chances are dashed, especially since I am an international. So now I am stuck between Cornell ED and Wharton ED.</p>
