<p>For others, my D was waitlisted four years ago with 4.75 weighted/4.0 unweighted GPA, 15 AP’s, 34 ACT, 790/750 SAT, valedictorian of her class of ~450. You decide it is easy or not. And everyone knows it is harder each year! </p>
<p>I couldn’t say it enough that Cornell’s higher admission rate is only because they admit more students for the larger freshman class. It is an advantage for applicants. I feel funny that instead of taking the good opportunity to get in to the amazing school, some applicants are picking on the admission rate! I shake my head many times for that.</p>
