chances don't look good..it doesn't hurt to try i guess

naoise

I think cornell likes to see at least a 2100. did you think about taking the sats again or is this after multiple tries? and I'm also pretty sure cornell wants to see your sat II scores. what happened with those? and what is your unweighted gpa?

agreed. it doesn't hurt to try. and also, it's not the end of the world if you don't get in right now. you can always get an amazing gpa somewhere else and transfer later.

best of luck.

its a high reach, idk try, dont expect it but by looks of it you dont. Good luck.

ACT was only a 29.
3.97 was actually UW(had mistook it for W) and 4.30 was W.
Got into some very good colleges.LoL but not Cornell.
