<p>Cornell looks at the overall package. I know plenty of people who got into Cornell with less than supreb SAT stats than yours but made up for it either in their dedication to service, excellence in the sciences or arts, etc. Your scores also matter in terms of the major/college you are applying to in Cornell. For example, Cornell Engineering puts a greater emphasis on high math scores, etc.</p>
<p>However by no mean does getting a 1600 puts you at a disadvantage. Congrats on your perfect score. Now, how Cornell take writing into account? We can only speculate. I heard that the writing score carries the least amount of weight compared to the rest of the sections so as long as you didn’t do that badly on your writing score you should be fine. </p>
<p>Anyways, congrats on getting perfect on your verb + math section. Now all you have to do is work on your extracurriculars/gpa/etc. and write a great personal statement to complement that score.</p>
