<p>Yes you could definitely get into cornell</p>

26

<p>i dunno. i think it would be a match.. perhaps a slight reach. GPA is great, but your SAT's are a little low for cornell.</p>

27

<p>really? My SAT is still a bit low? I looked into the Cornell forum and like the people who got in had SAT scores lower than me!</p>

<p>I don't know how they judge a student. People tell me that to get into Cornell, the most important thing is the essay.</p>

<p>I really hope I can get in. It is one of my dream schools!</p>

28

<p>You'll get in easily...and if you want to pump up ur chances..then pump up ur SATs</p>

29

<p>what about making medicine and working at an ancient medication factory in India from 6th to 11th grade?</p>

30

<p>That sounds wonderful. I think it will definitely improve your chances. However, from what I hear from the ppl who posted on this thread (read pg.1), that would not be considered a hook.</p>

<p>Hope that was of help to you.</p>

31

<p>Is it considered a hook if i'm a descendent of Karl Marx?</p>

32

<p>ehhhh...are you serious? I guess it would be lol. I mean, if you are really a descendent.</p>
