<p>yellowismellow… that person had 1950 in his SAT… I didn’t do the bio or phys SAT II but I’m not sure whether or not 720 is considered exceptional for these subjects. Clearly that person wasn’t being realistic to apply to only Ivy League schools + MIT.</p>
<p>slik nik, maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not. But I consider them a safety because Cornell accepted so many students from ONE school on a tiny island. Who knows how many they accepted from other schools here. Of course, this can also be attributed to the slightly larger undergraduate population at Cornell…</p>
