“Standardized test scores are only a small part of your application for admission. Let me say that again, standardized test scores are only a small part of your application for admission. SAT or ACT scores represent one Saturday in your high school career…”
Cornell can write whatever it wants on it’s website, but my kid’s HS Naviance tells me that if you fall below a certain ACT/SAT score, you don’t get into Cornell no matter what your GPA is. Maybe SAT/ACT plays a small part in determining who gets admitted to Cornell, but it does not play a small part in determining who gets rejected.
