Mix N Match?

Hi, I am appplying regular decision and I was wondering if I sent Cornell 2 ACT scores would they take the best from each subscore and get a new composite like they do for the SATs or No?
Thank you

A: Completely false. The Cornell suicide rate is below the national average for college-aged students. This rumor is probably propagated because of the many beautiful gorges on campus. It's more dramatic to say that somebody jumped off a bridge than if they killed themself some other way. The highest suicide rate belongs to another top school, though not an Ivy.

Funny reply.Esp in The highest suicide rate belongs to another top school, though not an Ivy.

Yes, Cornell will take the best of each section on both the SAT and ACT and combine to give you the best possible score

RE: AEM selectivity

There is only so much space available in each major, so the more that apply the more selective it becomes. simple math

Contract (state supported) schools at Cornell are NOT SUNY schools. There is a significant differnce in tuition for NYS residents at a Contract college at Cornell $20,000 vs. $35,000 for Endowed (private) schools or non-NYS residents. $15,000 savings is nothing to complain about, for sure!

My interviewer told me how the whole suicide rumor started. About 20 years ago, a documentary was made about suicide rates among college students, and it was filmed on the campus of Cornell University. Because of that, people have assumed that the documentary wouldn't have been filmed on a campus where the suicide rate wasn't high (which is false). She also said that all throughout the campus there are huge gorges which drunk students casually fall into.

OF COURSE IT WOULD^^^

What better place to kill yourself than near a beautiful waterfall and gorges that are amazing? Think of the water flowing pass you as you bleed excessively on the floor. The leaves as green as can be and the sun shining brightly above your corpse. Birds would fly by and sing songs of merry and cheer. OH GOD thinking about it makes me all warm inside!!

I REALLY HOPE I GET IN!!!!!!

How is the Biology program at Cornell? Is it generally thought of as one of the best in the country or is it just something that is offered?

My GPA is 3.5 at a private high school in Arizona, and I'm in the top 1/3 of my class.
100 % of grads go to 4 year colleges, 1/3 of the class goes to First Class Institutions..Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Duke, etc. 1/3 of the class goes to Second Tier Institutions.. Washington University, Trinity, Tulane, Rice, UVA, etc. The bottom tier attends Univ of Colorado, ASU, Uof A, etc.
My SAT's are M-800, CR-680, W-780, I only took them once. My SAT II 's are
Math level 2 - 780, English Lit - 800, and US History -780
I take all honors classes along with 2 foreign languages every year. I speak and read Mandarin, Latin (through IV), Greek, and Spanish.
I have lots of extra curriculur activities and am both a kick boxer and a harpist.
I have applied to the Arts and Science College in linguistics.
What are my chances?
