<p>Will being from the south be helpful in the admissions process?</p>
<p>On the website only like 5-8% apply from there.</p>
<p>I THINK being from somewhere not in the mid-atlantic states or new england is helpful. There are probably a few exceptions, but it IS diversity that they want!</p>
<p>So should I apply ED? My stats are not that good.</p>
<p>I am thinking about getting a job and maybe doing a summer session at Cornell to get to know the professors better and hopefully they can give me a recomendation letter. Do you guys think I should do this?</p>
<p>Post stats?</p>
<p>like around 1780 sat…top 10%</p>
<p>would a summer session help? I would get to talk with the professors.</p>
<p>If everything else is great then work on your SATs…you still have time</p>
<p>I guess ED wouldn’t hurt, but some places say that if you apply ED you can’t apply anywhere else early (even action) so that might be a factor (and I don’t know what Cornell’s policy is)…</p>
