One really really really bad info
avg gpa of accepted students to cornell was 4.45
2/10 students got in. Valedictorian(4.6 1480) and number 3(4.38 1430) regular decision
however, all other students who got rejected had very bad stats.
Im like in the middle of rejected ppl and accepted ppl on naviance plot.
but slightly more towards accpeted ppl only cus my SAT is higher than ppl who got in. hopefully that will help.

thanks in advance!!

your stats are VERY similar to mine except for the SAT2s. where do u live w such small classes... that affects decision

yjs1210

I live in new jersey just like you. haha
Bergen county which is pretty known for education
but my school sort of sucks compared to other schools in bergen county

dannygirsh

i'm at hills in passaic going for comp sci in engineering ED. people on CC seem to think im a match/already in, so hopefully you are too. see it here: Please chance my ED at Engineering :)

yjs1210

lol you are like 10x better than me!

dannygirsh

? same SAT, same rank, i have 4 AP tests +5 more classes taken... the physics and calc your in now, are those C and BC respectively? + my recs were probably weaker than the "best this year" . **edit from before "wayne hills"

parexemple

i also live in bergen county... you seem to have a better chance than me. on average 20-ish kids apply per year and about two or three get in.

chendrix

you should be in.

but it comes down to essay.

dannygirsh: i think ur ecs and gpa puts you far above than I am. and no, my school offers very little number of APs. I think im taking/took 7 out 9. so basically everything but world languages

Chendrix: my essays are probably above average(personally, i think they are great).. i wouldnt say amazing tho.

austrianpog

My stats are somewhat like yours.. so I was wondering if you got in?
I'm pretty sure you should've gotten in..
