<p>Cornell is my first choice - can anyone help with a guess as to my chances getting in? Am I wasting my time? Can I consider my acceptance to be a good bet?</p>
<p>I forgot to add that my reference will be written by one of the most famous Cornell Alumni (NYS politician), with whom I worked closely this summer.</p>
<p>i have to run to finish up some work for tonight, but i did a quick run through of your stats, and it looks like you'd have a good shot if you have good essays/recs. I'll comment a bit more when i get a free minute!!!</p>
<p>Gomestar: Thanks so much, I'm truly appreciative.</p>
<p>Eternity: It just seems like the best school for me, for many reasons (great school, rigorous academic programs, strong in the sciences, proximity, familiar environment, chance at an acceptance, etc.)</p>
<p>Southbound: That's why I'm applying. My GPA isn't as high as yours. To what college are you applying? I'm getting straight As now, which will pull me up to close to a 3.6, but I'm not sure if it'll be enough.</p>
<p>I don't know. I just hope I don't get rejected. I REALLY want to go there. I know some others may have better stats, but that's my dream, and I've fallen in love with it. Actually, I think you have a great chance. Mine's not as good, but ohh well. Human Ecology also has a high rate. Maybe you should look into that?</p>
<p>Human Ecology has a 51% acceptance rate to CALS's 41% and CAS's 11%. It's not really worth studying a program you don't like to get into a good school, though. Maybe you disagree?</p>
<p>There's a website that has all the stats. I dont' remember what it was but you can search for it, I do remember that CALS and HE were really high, and CAS lower. I'm going to just try my best and go with CALS, and hope I get in.</p>
