<p>Hey Everyone!</p>
<p>I'm a junior this year, and I have an "alright" GPA (4.1 weighted). It's not the best but It's going to go up a lot this year, because I'm in four AP classes (more than anyone else in my grade, if that means anything).</p>
<p>Just curious, what sort of scores on my SAT/ACTs do I need to have a shot of getting into Cornell if I apply next year?</p>
<p>white - 1300/1600
asian - 1400/1600
urm - 1200/1600</p>
<p>^Rofl, I agree. Maybe a bit higher for whites though.</p>
<p>I always don’t understand the Asian thing. Is it ALL Asians, or just nerdy, sciency, mathsy Asians?</p>
<p>What if I happen to be an Asian who’s going to do music theory, or theatre, or creative writing, or comparative literature, or Medieval history. Is 1400 still nothing special?</p>
<p>you asked for a “chance” </p>
<p>add 100 points for a good chance ;)</p>
<p>(semi-serious)</p>
<p>lol. I’m white. But yeah, let me rephrase it to a “good chance”.</p>
<p>@campuscsi
Isn’t it more like asian - 1800/1600? LOL.</p>
<p>I strongly believe it’s not based on SAT scores much but mostly on fit. They just want you to have a high enough SAT score so that they know you are competent enough to survive their workload.</p>
<p>^With that being said, I think one could get in with a 600/1600 SAT score if he/she won a nobel peace price/pulitzer/etc. Outstanding awards/ECs are very important as well.</p>
<p>I think if somebody was able to win a Pulitzer prize or a Nobel Peace Prize they would be able to get over a 600/1600… I understand and agree with your point but that may be a slight exaggeration haha</p>
<p>Less than or equal to 2400.</p>
<p>i agree with yellowsnowman lol. well i took the sat 3 times and i’m asian. i got 1440 the first time and 1490 the 3rd time. -crosses fingers- i applied ed</p>
<p>What about an international student whose is Asian? >1350 is that ok?? I mean it is not that horrible if u have good ECA’s, recos and GPA</p>
<p>You’d need at least 2350.
Out of 1600, you’d need at least 1550.</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
is that a joke lol xD, I don’t think that’s very reflective of ED decisions last year :P</p>
<p>PS: Gosh yes I do realize that is a joke ==</p>
<p>urm here with 1440(cr+m) applying ED. There are plenty of high scoring urm canidates for the ivy to choose from. They do not need to dip. Although the majority of posts on these boards like to state otherwise.</p>
<p>Asian, applying RD to Engineering with a 34 ACT (About 1510-1520 CR+M).</p>
<p>36 Math, 33 English</p>
<p>White male applying ED to CALS with a 32 ACT (E:35, M:36, R: 28, S:28)</p>
<p>If Cornell does consider scores from multiple test dates, however, I’d have a 33 (E:35, M:36, R:30, S:31) </p>
<p>Quick question: Do you guys think Cornell (and other colleges for that matter) will possibly place more weight on the English and Math sections??</p>
