<p>Well....the alumni "interview" really doesn't have much of an effect on your admission decision and it doesn't mean you're a strong or weak candidate if you had (or didn't have) an interview. Read the numerous thread on this topic. </p>
<p>On the other hand..your essays are important (especially for CALS)...so if they really as good as you say then that will certainly help you.</p>
<p>i read "acing the common app." by a former admissions officer at Dartmouth and she wrote that alumni interviews (or any interview) would only give you a slight advantage over those who have not had one.</p>
<p>Any SAT II's?
edit <em>read above and saw that you didn't take any SAT II's</em>
There is no reason for Cornell not to think that your school has either a)crazy grade inflation or b)very easy.</p>
<p>yes, but i didn't send them or else my SAT I score wouldve went with it. US history and biology m both 670 ( so not that great).</p>
<p>Cornell (at least they claim to do this) takes the highest score (SAT or ACT), so I think it would have been (or if u still can) to send your SAT II's (which are fine) to show what you have learned.</p>
<p>well i already did ED so its too late to send them now :S thanks for the advice though, i will probably do that if i apply to other schools (Hopefully, i won't have to and i can relax after December 15th)</p>
<p>^best of luck
Though according to a person on another thread
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/591279-your-ed-application-what-you-going-do-now-11.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/591279-your-ed-application-what-you-going-do-now-11.html</a>
it looks like we may not find out on the 15th</p>
<p>Yeah, possibly earlier -- i just read it
good luck to you too</p>
