<p>What's the out of 1600 breakdown for the SATs?</p>
<p>It seems the sat score is pretty/very low.. other than that, there's nothing eye-popping so.. i wouldn't count on getting in but you never know!</p>
<p>ouch that sat if hurting</p>
<p>Did your friend take TOEFL? I saw that your friend scored a 780 on the Chinese, so I'm assuming that your friend is Chinese and scored high on Math section but low on other sections of SAT I...right?</p>
<p>How does that SAT break down?</p>
<p>EDIT: And to which college?</p>
<p>His breakdown is 560 Writing 630 CR and 690 Math</p>
<p>as Austin Powers would say, "Ouch baby, very ouch"</p>
<p>lol but seriously, those numbers are subpar for cornell, if even that. don't really see any area of concentration or "passion" in those EC's. I see you listed your immigration as an EC lol. you can try to emphasize the hardships,etc that you experienced, but i doubt it'll count for much. a lot of ppl are in the same boat(no pun intended :) ). </p>
<p>reach for the stars, but have a backup plan ready. i'd start looking into some more "match" schools</p>
<p>Heyyy, I was an immigrant at the age of 8. lol</p>
<p>Everything looks good (especially the rank!!), but the SAT score is a bit too low for Cornell....but like everybody said, you never know! If your friend have awesome essays and recs...then maybe it could boost him up.</p>
