<p>Hey guys! I am planning to apply to Cornell for Industrial Engg. I wanted to know if I had any chances to get there. I am an International student currently studying in a small international christian school in INdonesia. i will graduate in 2008. The school i attend is really small (total 90 students). Being a small school there arent many oppurtunities. Only AP Calculus AB offered, no clubs and only 2 sports teams. Also, I live 2 hours away from my school, so I can't take part in any afterschool activities as I have to go back and forth from school to home wasting 4 hours everyday. Help would be greatly appreciated, and also professional advice. Pls. do inform me about my chances to the following schools also:</p>

<p>Stanford
Georgia Tech
University of Micghigan Ann Arbor
Purdue
Cornell
Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>Rank: 2/15, Saludictorian most prolly
GPA: 3.9/4.0
SAT: pretty low-- Math: 720, Reading:640, Writing: 640

Going to take Math and PHysics again, and expect to improve drastically</p>

<p>2/15......</p>

<p>what..........</p>

<p>eh you have a decent chance! and your SAT isn't that low.</p>

<p>Pretty low to be honest, I mean you have the grades and everything (could have done a bit better on Physics, really should be between a 680-750), but living two hours from school really isn't an excuse.</p>

<p>I personally live 1 1/2 hours from school, even though it is only 17 miles away. I still participate in a vast number of EC activities. Also, the admissions rates for international students just aren't that good to begin with. Sorry.</p>

<p>Purdue you can get into quite easily though, and it ranks just as highly as Cornell does in Engineering ;)</p>
