<p>Just wondering how my chances are.
My freshman year are all 70s but if my sophomore, junior and senior year are all 90s.
Making an overall 85 transcript average.
With a perfect SAT score.</p>
<p>How are my chances?</p>
<p>a lot of cornell is fit based…but i see no problems</p>
<p>fit based?
And, I checked my school’s college search program and it says that usually a 91 is needed for acceptance. I’m not sure if that’s the minimum requirement needed to get in but if i have a perfect sat score, hopefully a gpa lower that 91 can be accepted.</p>
<p>Well, what Cornell looks for is a lot more than just an applicant with amazing grades and test scores. So if you have good ECs, recommendations, and a great essay, those can help you out a lot. Don’t be weighed down by your GPA. Good luck!</p>
<p>I agree that Cornell does look pass grades and test scores. However, keep in mind that high SAT’s and low school grades tend not to sit well with admission officers.</p>
<p>^ I second FB.
High School Grades + Rigor are way more important than SAT Scores</p>
<p>Thanks.
What’s Rigor or EC?</p>
<p>Rigor usually means if you took the hardest classes your school offers and EC are extra-curricular activities.</p>
<p>So can a person with a average SAT score like 1900 but a GPA of 93 or 94 get in engineering ?</p>
<p>engineering and CAS tend to be the more “numbers-based” colleges when it comes to admissions. high SATs + high GPA are usually required - unless you built a particle accelerator in your free time, then you probably don’t even NEED an SAT score/GPA.</p>
