Am I on Track for Cornell?

The SAT scores vary significantly by college within the university. (For example, the 75th % for Math for Engineering is 800. For all I know, the median may be also.) The Class of 2017 profile represents enrolled students, not accepted. To the extent that Cornell does not enjoy 100% yield, the enrolled students’ stats will be some number lower than the accepted students’ stats.

An unhooked applicant would do well to have his scores closer to the 75th % than the median.
