<p>No Way You Get In, Your'e Not Qualified Enough. How Do You Get First Place In The Math Competition And Not Get 800 On Math. It's All Lies.</p>

3

<p>Oh SNAP, that was harsh...</p>

<p>Although, I guess it is better to hear it from CC than from Cornell University.</p>

4

<p>eflo you are just jealous besides math comp and sat are totally different we have 5 minutes to do one problem compare to 1 minute per problem in the sat</p>

5

<p>Um. I really doubt he's jealous as opposed to being sarcastic...</p>

6

<p>either way i want some real comments</p>

7

<p>lol, maybe you shouldn't have started anything with eflo. </p>

<p>But i think you have a chance. sat's hurting a little bit, but 1st generation college student might help. probably average ec's for people applying to Cornell, but your gpa/rank is good. ED would have helped, but it all comes down to chance.</p>

<p>of course, you already know what i think, and i might be too 'nice' because i know you. what do other people think?</p>

8

<p>Not great. so-so SAT's. EC's not very good.</p>

9

<p>i agree about your ECs. there are alot of other students who have lower SATs like yours, and they get in...yet they also have outstanding recs. </p>

<p>but. its definately not all lost. you have a chance, dont let everyone else or myself get you down</p>
