Chance Me for Cornell (Send All Scores Concerns)

Colleges & Universities Cornell University
1

I’m looking at Cornell CAS for Economics or Government, and am concerned about their requirement to send all scores on my chances. I have a few scores that are terribly low, and am worried that they’ll rule me out of having a shot. I’d love your honest opinion!

  • White Male, Mid-Atlantic Strong Public School
  • GPA is around my school's Naviance acceptance range, a tad bit under
  • Strong extracurriculars in high school, currently taking a gap year and working with Americorps

APs: 5s on AP US Gov, AP Comp Gov, AP English Language, and AP Euro, 3 on AP US History

SAT Subject Tests: 750 on US History, 640 Literature, 600 World History (taking Math 1 in October)

ACT
Test 1 - 31C | 35E | 35R | 29M | 26S
Test 2 - 32C | 35E | 35R | 28M | 29S
Test 2 - 32C | 36E | 34R | 26M | 31S

As you can see, my test scores are kinda all over the place, and there are some very bad marks (Lit and W History, 26s on ACT subsections), that I worry will kill my chances. Any advice/feedback on my chances is appreciated!

You’re test scores are relatively good for Cornell, but as a white male you will be at a disadvantage. You should definitely highlight the gap year youll be taking and its impact on you. Best of luck. Chance me back!
