<p>the HEOP program is usually for underrepresented minorities, so if you are latino, african american, or native american, then yes. Here’s the site you should look to for the exact stats of HEOP students (scroll a bit down and its on the right hand side):</p>
<p>Btw, that link isnt veyr accurate because its from 2003-2005. Thanks though.</p>
<p>So what you are saying is that there is a likely chance I will get into the College of Engineering via HEOP?</p>
<p>I also forgot to mention I took the follow SAT IIs:
Math I - 660
Math II - 650
Chem - 620
Spanish - 760
Biology - 590</p>
<p>Also my Recs are pretty flattering.</p>
<p>I really hope I can get into Cornell because my family can’t really afford me to go to a school nearby that has a good reputation for its education. PLUS I VISITED THE SCHOOL AND IT WAS AMAZING! sorry I digress… anything else?</p>
<p>Likely chance? I don’t think so. I mean, unless you have extraordinary EC hooks you really don’t stand much of a chance. Even with HEOP, the average SAT score is around 1300-1400 math+reading- so your stats are definitely not up to par with even the HEOP standards. Again, if you have a hook, you will have a chance. But you have to realize that the engineering school is incredibly competitive and there are student with flawless stats that are rejected-so don’t expect your URM status to give you much leeway.</p>
<p>I think u missed what I was asking. I didn’t say my URM status was supposed to give me leeway. I don’t care about my URM status, I’m talking about what HEOP states.</p>
<p>According to them, if I can’t get in by ordinary means, and my financial status is accepted by HEOP (which I think it will be), then HEOP will offer me a summer program with classes. If I pass the classes and they deem I’m ready for college then I get full acceptance, with plenty of aid. </p>
<p>I’m not entirely sure that’s how it works. This is really confusing because I can’t find statistics for students under HEOP. From the ones from 2005 I am definitely accepted, but that was a long time ago!</p>
<p>But you seem to have found statistics, Zenbadabing, but where? Can you link me to where you got your info that would help thanks.</p>
<p>I can’t find much information about academic standards except:</p>
<p>Both EOP and HEOP (H/EOP) are New York State programs for New York State residents pursuing a college education, who possess neither the traditional academic profile, nor the financial means to afford college, but demonstrate the potential for success in a competitive academic environment. Students accepted under the H/EOP programs will receive academic and financial counseling, as well as a financial aid package to afford their education.</p>
<p>If any one has any other information, I’d appreciate it.</p>
<p>Its not that Im looking for “peace of mind” I’m just looking to be well informed and also have a REALISTIC view of what’s going on.</p>
