Will This Get One Off the Waiting List?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I've been wait-listed from the College of Engineering and am trying to find ways that I can increase my chances of getting off the wait-list. I am a female and a first-generation college goer. Below are my updated IB diploma predicted scores (which didn't make it to Cornell on time...)</p>

<p>IB Math HL: 7
IB Physics HL: 7
IB Chem HL: 6
IB Biology HL: 6 (final)
IB History HL: 6
IB English SL: 6
IB French SL: 6</p>

<p>Basically, I am thinking of sending an excerpt of a presentation I made in the Theory of Knowledge (philosophy stuff) class on epigenetics and its knowledge issues. I am applying to engineering and the script is very "arts & sciency" so I am not sure if it's a good fit. But it reveals a lot about stuff I enjoy thinking about so if it occurs to the AO's as original and insightful, it may help rite?</p>

<p>Anyways, if you are interested in reading this excerpt and giving me feedback, please PM me. Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Predicted?</p>

<p>yup, as in I haven't taken the exams yet and those are the scores my teachers sent to the colleges to tell them what they expect me to get on the exams.</p>

<p>Those are great predicted scores. I'm not sure how Cornell would weigh your school's predicted IB scores but those certainly couldn't hurt.</p>
