<p>Race, SAT breakdown, and is that Math II or math I?</p>

3

<p>Looks like you have a good shot with a hook like legacy or ED</p>

4

<p>Your grades are above average for Cornell – engineering.</p>

<p>Your SATs are about average, and certainly in the range, unless you have some kind of weird break down – let’s say 800 CR; 800 W and 510 M (which would probably be a killer for Engineering), but with your 750 SATII, this seems unlikely.</p>

<p>Your ECs look ok.</p>

<p>Overall, I think you’d be a competitive candidate, though nothing is certain.</p>

5

<p>Sat Break Down → 750 Math, 690 CR and 670 Writing :frowning:
Race: Indian
Math II SAT</p>

<p>I have no legacy… I have a decent hook</p>

6

<p>You have a regular chance.</p>

7

<p>Your chances are good. By the way, there currently isn’t a political science minor, but Cornell has been dramatically increasing its minors so there is a decent chance I’d say that before you would graduate, a minor will be available.</p>

8

<p>1440 CR/M is good, but not great for Cornell, I’d say it’s a mid reach for you</p>
