Chances for an RD Applicant

<p>What are my chances as an RD applicant? My SAT scores are not great, but I worked hard to make everything else the best it could be. Please chance me. I will be applying to College of Engineering and to College of Arts and Sciences as my backup.</p>

<p>CR score too low even for engineering… take SAT again?</p>

<p>I tried to bring it up. I finished two SAT books and never got lower than 700 on any of the CR tests from those, but I just didn’t do well on the real test. I mean, does everything else have the possibility of negating the SAT scores. I just can’t do well on them.</p>

<p>My son got in Engineering with a 620 CR/640 writing/800 math and 600’s SAT 2. He had over a 4.0 though…GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>Thanks, megnut. Our GPA system is different, and our school is quite competitive, plus all the classes I’ve takne are really really hard. I’m not saying your son hasn’t, but most of the juniors last year experienced a GPA drop.</p>

<p>You seem like an ideal Cornell student.</p>

<p>SAT scores aren’t the most important thing, but as an engineering major, your math score should definitely be a little higher. Your CR and Writing scores are okay.</p>

<p>You have good ECs. I don’t know how competitive the class of 2012 selection process will be though. I know some engineering students who can’t hack it and are transferring out of the major. If Cornell accepts students who’s hearts really aren’t into engineering, they will be quite foolish not to accept a student like you.</p>

<p>My brother got in Cornell’s C0E with a 630 CR and a 730 Math.</p>

<p>So goodluck.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are really really strong and heavily focused on engineering… but are all of those awards+recognitions in robotics actually big ones?.. Most of those sound fairly small and regional such as the “duel on the delaware” … and Cornell might notice that.</p>

<p>However, your SAT scores will hurt you a ton, especially the CR, like everyone has said. </p>

<p>You have decent chances and your chances are above the average applicant, and good luck. :)</p>
