<p>Out of curiosity who knows or heard of a person with low stats that got into Cornell?
low meaning g.p.a less than 3.5
and SAT's less than 600</p>
<p>umm, I think probably a few international students who were wealthy and did not ask for aid got in with low stats…cuz Cornell pretty much lowers standards for internationals who dont ask for aid</p>
<p>There are plenty of athletes who get into incredible schools with low stats. I know someone with an 1800 SAT to get into UPenn: an athlete.</p>
<p>It would be very unusual for someone without special circumstances to be accepted with less than a 3.5 GPA and less than a 600 on each section of the SAT.</p>
<p>Noble Peace Prize, much?</p>
<p>nusi: i’m sure some of the state school’s at cornell do have those cases…</p>
<p>somebody needs to set the record straight: are the student bodies at the state schools worse than the private schools? There are so many contradictory statements, somebody with STATS and knowledge needs to put an end to this and decide either way.</p>
<p>I know someone who got into Bates with under a 2.0gpa and 1000 SATs (old one).</p>
<p>None of my CALS friends had lower than a 3.5 or 600s on the SAT (old exam)…but I am sure there are some individuals (maybe those coming in through EOP) who were below those marks.</p>
<p>according to naviance, only one student of the 50 that have been accepted in the last 7 years had a gpa of less than 3.5. that is weighted by the way.</p>
<p>the state owned schools at cornell have the same weight as the other schools. its not like if you are a NY state resident, you can get away with a 3.0 gpa and a 1800 if you apply to CALS or something</p>
<p>anyone who gets in with those stats will probably have done something exceptional or have some exceptional aspect to their application.</p>
<p>sorry… but what’s EOP?</p>
<p>Educational Opportunity Program…its a program a lot of states have for low-income families</p>
<p>heres more info about it on Cornell’s website: [Cornell</a> University Office of Minority Educational Affairs](<a href=“http://omea.cornell.edu/state-programs/]Cornell”>http://omea.cornell.edu/state-programs/)</p>
<p>3.5 and an 1800 is exceptionally low? </p>
<p>We shall welcome you back with a tickertape parade upon your return to planet earth.</p>
<p>While I don’t know peoples’ specific scores, I can assure you I went to school with plenty of people who did not reach either of those marks. </p>
<p>Never forget that high test scores do not equal intelligence. They mean people can reguritate facts or do decent reasoning.</p>
<p>What school did you attend, applejack?</p>
<p>arts and science info sessions people tell you that the school starts taking at around 1800 (at least this was the case when i was at one in my senior year in high school). quite frankly, my friends in ilr have really high standardized test scores (if not in SAT, then in ACT).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How is that different from the high GPA? You mean the people with high GPA do not “reguritate” facts?</p>
<p>I agree with applejack…I attended a SUNY school for a year and I had plenty of friends who were well below those marks but actually fairly intelligent…I never would have guessed they were below those numbers if they didn’t tell me</p>
<p>dewdrop - which SUNY?</p>
