<p>I have been wavering on whether or not I should apply for the Ivy's. I've got full rides to the colleges in my state but the Ivy's are well, the Ivy's. I am a National Merit Finalist(probably). I have 10 Ap courses, 6 Honors courses, 3.98 unweighed. SAT's M800, V710, W730. National Scholar with distinction, National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society. Marching, jazz, pep and concert bands and orchestra. State winner History Documentary. Model UN. Free tutoring at school, tutoring business at home. I'm a Legacy. Any thoughts on the subject?</p>
<p>is this a joke, why wouldn't you apply...apply now...you should have done early somewhere. where are you a legacy</p>
<p>Dad went to Cornell. I guess I've been thinking pretty practically. Pay no money and have my AP credits take almost a year of credits off and give me an opportunity to try several different majors or pay the big bucks. I've gotten direct admit to IU Kelly School of Business and Purdue's Business school. My folks want it to be my decision. I'm really trying to figure out the true value added. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Robinm, I think you should apply to Cornell. Then, in the months before you receive a decision, visit the school, and perhaps re-visit the others that have accepted you, and think about the "value-added." In April, you should be all set to make a good decision.</p>
<p>Yea please do apply. You can make a decision later. You are very qualified it seems.</p>
<p>wow...thank god u didn't do ED. lol would've completely destroyed my chances</p>
