<p>Has anyone had a really low GPA or knew someone that did and managed to get into Cornell ?</p>

<p>I knew someone with a 2.2 who got into USC :D</p>

2

<p>there was someone on the transfer thread looking to transfer out of cornell who had gotten in with a 3.4 in high school. he was also URM though.</p>

3

<p>I have a 3.6 and im an URM :D</p>

4

<p>Well the other guy may have written some spectacular essays as well. I don’t think URM status was enough to get him in the door.</p>

<p>And I’m going to have to ask: how in the world did someone get into USC with a 2.2? Did they get a presidential recommendation or something?</p>

5

<p>I have no clue</p>

6

<p>Football player?</p>

7

<p>Considering George Bush got into both Harvard and Yale, all bets are off. </p>

<p>I’ll bet it gets pretty low at all those schools when power legacies are involved.</p>

8

<p>3.5 uw. No hooks, just a fantastic essay. to engineering too.</p>

9

<p>^3.5uw with the most rigorous classes?</p>

10

<p>and what was his SAT score?</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>And I don’t need no hook for this sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit</p>

<p>Sorry, but I just really felt the urge to say that.</p>

12

<p>Everything is so very unexpected.!!!</p>

13

<p>If I get in, you’ll know that an Asian with a 3.68 UW/2230composite/2310combined got in.</p>

<p>but… fat chance hahaha. plus it’s to AAP, which considers a few more factors than the other colleges.</p>

14

<p>I got into Cornell with a 3.3. Of course, I came from a small prep school that did not weight honors classes. I was early decision and once i got in the validictorian of my class thought she was a shoo in, and she was turned down. I also think it helps that my major was archaeology.</p>

15

<p>2.5</p>

<p>10 char (not me, someone I choose to name as anonymous)</p>

16

<p>WOW, A 2.5?! Never expected that, can you tell us what college in Cornell that person got into, and maybe the year? And, this is stupid but, whats 10 char?</p>

<p>“10 char” is a common phrase used to get posts up to the 10 character limit. And don’t read too much into this GPA business. It varies a lot depending on the high school.</p>
