I am an international student from Bangladesh, and I have a SAT score of 1270 (pretty poor, I know). I am pretty confident that my recommendations will be ‘good’, essays and supplements are ‘good’ as well, maintained ‘good’ grades in high school. So, shall I apply to Cornell with this (1270) SAT score on EARLY DECISION, or try again and apply to Cornell with better score on REGULAR DECISION?
You can try but Cornell’s acceptance rate is 14% with an average SAT of 1480. I have a 1400 and I’m not wasting my money applying there.
