…Cornell admissions officers DO care about SATs… I don’t know where/how you found that information, but it is certainly incorrect. The traditional “formula” that many people recognize is the:
GPA 50%
SAT 25%
EC/ESSAYS etc 25%

while those numbers are just a rough estimate, SATs are most certainly a critical part of the application, thus the OP should in fact shoot higher than in 1890… maybe at least a 2100… especially since a sibling isn’t a legacy at all… regardless of law school/undergrad or whatever… Legacies are parents and grandparents… sibling legacies may have a miniscule influence if any
