What do you think are my chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>SCHOOL: small catholic all-girls school in a quiet suburb in NJ
SAT: 620 (CR), 670 (M), 710 (W) = 2000 (all three) or 1290 (CR+M)
SAT IIs: pending, Math I = confidant, Literature = worried
GPA: 4.2 (weighted...I had a really bad freshman year =/)...i think unweighted it would be a 3.3 or a 3.4
RANK: my school doesn't rank, but they still announce who's top 20% (not me, sadly...but it's really small -- 103 people!!)
COURSES: the hardest stuff every year...this year - 4 APs (British Lit., Calculus, French IV, US History II), 1 Honors I (Physics), 1 regular (Religion...which is required otherwise I would've taken Psychology)
DISTICTIONS: Nat. Achievement High Scorer, NSHSS, Who's Who, awards & recognition for piano performances, Venture Scholar...i think there's more but I'm lazy
EXTRAS: b-ball manager, track runner, hospital volunteer, math tutor, assistant mentor, leadership team, etc, etc...I do a lot of other stuff...oh! co-editor for my school's literary mag
INTENTED MAJOR: Biology (pre-med)</p>

<p>So what do you think, guys? Do I have a shot?
PARENTS: of course (but they're biased)
GUIDANCE: possible
FRIENDS: yea! give it a shot!
PRINCETON REVIEW: it's my good match school apparently (confused much??)</p>

<p>With the confidence I have for my chances, I would place yours at slim. You should still try, though.</p>

3

<p>ru a URM...if not, good luck as a transfer, no offense, but a 1290 really isn't gonna cut it. What school ru applying to within Cornell. Arts/Sciences is very competitive.</p>

4

<p>A tough shot, but who knows. SAT score isn't everything. If you've got sixty bucks and some time to spare, I guess you could try - as long as you don't have a phobia of rejection letters.</p>

<p>hey, my GPA is roughly in the same area that yours is, however to offset that you need to bump up your SAT and SAT II scores. It's good that you've taken the hardest course load every year, but you should have a ton of APs to show for that? iono. I think, pragmatically, you need to bump up your boards to have a reasonable shot.</p>

6

<p>ur class is 103 or your school? my school's small too (31 kids - senior class).</p>

<p>oh, and what he (thatindiandude) said about SAT scores.</p>

<p>I say, give it a go! you'll never know if you don't apply.</p>

7

<p>I don't think they're good, but it doesn't hurt to apply</p>

8
