you have a decent chance at all your reach schools. i wouldn't worry too much.... except that your standardized tests are mediocre, and your grades are subpar.

xAAAx · 10-13-2009, 10:45 PM

downward trend of GPA=not good

fantastic_magic · 10-13-2009, 10:45 PM

err..i'd beg to differ
each year, ur gpa is dropping considerably, which the admission officers will certainly not like
unless you have a VERY good reason for it, doubt u'll get into any of the reach schools.

RAlec114 · 10-13-2009, 10:48 PM

oh snap didn't see international....

I think you'll make it to one of your reach schools

paragould · 10-13-2009, 10:54 PM

what my counselor was thinking..?

He is a veteran, sending kids to college for 20+ years...

I am very confused right now since answer range from not at all to o.k..

But Do i have any chance in Cornell even i apply early decision???

emerica22 · 10-13-2009, 10:56 PM

I know a kid who got into Cornell ED, who had a 33 ACT, about a billion Extracurricular activities and a 99 average (weighted I assume), so hope this helps.

AdamLaLa · 10-13-2009, 11:45 PM

While your grades are not horrible, there are applicants applying with much better stats.

In my eyes, with the downward trend and international, it's a no go.

Also, work on your English. That would help.

brewerfan99 · 10-13-2009, 11:55 PM

GA Tech would be more in the match range.

masterchief1 · 10-14-2009, 12:44 PM

like he said, downward trend is never good- if u had that gpa reversed your spot would be much more likely...i think u'll get into at least one of ur other schools- but cornells an ivy so its a tossup- work on ur scores and getting that up, its the only thing in ur hand as of now BEST OF LUCK TO YOU =)
