<p>thats pretty much it what do you guys think my chances ED are for CAS/AEM?</p>

<p>…bump?</p>

3

<p>^It depends how competitive you are within the context of your high school. Would you say you are among the top students (in terms of grades/rigor) there?</p>

4

<p>Although my school doesn’t rank i do believe im one of the upper tier students. My high school is extremely competitive, just to put this into perspective an example of this is that my 790 in math and writing only put me in the 85th and 87th percentile respectively, within my school.</p>

5

<p>Not SAT score, grade wise.
And, holy s h i t (this word is necessary), ONLY 85th and 87th!? For a 790!
You sure you wrote that down correctly?</p>

<p>Your chances also change depending on your ECs.
I’m not an AEM expert, but as for CAS (which I am also no expert at), low reach.</p>

6

<p>^^ im sure i wrote that down correctly, hence extremely competitive… and even with URM/ED it’s low reach?</p>

7

<p>idk man. You didn’t tell us a lot about you, so we can’t see that special thing about you that would make them choose you over people like your hyper-competitive classmates. Like all students with good stats, you have a chance, but at this point in time with the information you’ve given us, I don’t know if it will be enough.</p>

8

<p>^i didn’t really go into depth on this because i was really looking to see where i stood number-wise. i do have alot more to say about myself that does make me unique but that wasn’t really the point.</p>

9

<p>Number-wise you’re fine. A 3.5 UW GPA would normally be too low for Cornell, but given the competitiveness of your high school, it should be alright.</p>

10

<p>Yeah, the reason it’s a low reach is cause, as they all said, I don’t know much about you other than your amazing SAT score and then your relatively bad UW GPA.</p>

11

<p>^ i didn’t think 1480/1600 would be that impressive. thanks.</p>
