One applicant's story - Cornell University ED

<p>she calls herself an average applicant?
1910 sats and “nothing below a b” despite cramming in prep classes
and she took “challenging courses” but apparently that only included one ap her junior year</p>

<p>and her ecs are below average</p>

<p>and this place is the school that my guidance counsellor said i shouldn’t go for since there’s so much competition in my school for it. despite my “mediocre” 2270 in sats, 8 aps, solid grades and wide variety of interests (wide being relative to hers, my ecs are actually BELOW average compared to all)</p>

<p>she needs to get out more
…talking about the harshness of the college process when she has a rocket ship and we all have boats and canoes</p>

<p>but then again, she was rejected so… yeah it’s a cruel world for all of us</p>
