<li>never place a link on this site that gives access to your full identity. That’s just stupid. Especially with your address and phone number. ADMIN, please edit this post.</li>
<li>This is the Cornell thread, if you want advice on the other schools, you should go to the ‘What Are My Chances Thread?’
3.I think you have a decent shot. I got into the Engineering program with lower scores in both my SAT I and SAT II</li>
</ol>

<p>what’s your class rank?</p>
