<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>You’re ECs make up for lower side SAT. You’re GPA is fine, since you’re in the top 10% of your class. You seem really committed to science and going pre med. I give you a solid chance. Cornell is probably a low reach/high match for you. Chance me back?</p>
<p>thanks and i did lol. and yeah im hoping to get a much better score on the sat/act</p>
<p>bump bump bump bump</p>
<p>If you can raise your SATs significantly you’re looking at HYPS… I’d say with your current scores, Cornell is a low reach… You should look at Johns Hopkins, UPenn, Brown, Duke as well for pre med</p>
<p>bump! Also, im planning on applying early if you guys think that would affect my chances</p>
<p>Get your SAT up.</p>
<p>Wow these comments are really really narrow minded…specifically with Cornell you have a really good chance. The “low” SAT score is offset by the amazing ECs.</p>
<p>the thing about cornell is that they focus more-so on education than EC’s. Cornell wants students with course rigor and high scores. Nevertheless, I still think you have a good chance</p>
