I'm not sure, but try looking on :: College Planning Made Easy | Inside Source for College Admissions Requirements for some help.

I think theres an education forum that u can ask this in.

[YankeesGiantsRangersNYK]

Yeah man, I'd say you'd get in.

[elfelelina]

thnk u very much all of u who answer my thread

ACT 31 = 1360-1400 (Old SAT) = 2040 (New SAT)
ACT 30 = 1320-1350 (Old SAT) = 1980 (New SAT)
Cornell University 25/75 percentile ranges: SAT range: 1950-2230, ACT Range: 28-32.

You are in the ball park, but, as you know, there is more to admission than test scores. Your other particulars look decent.

Math II will impress more than Math I. Your intended major, of course, will make a difference on how the scores are viewed. The grading curve is more generous with the more difficult Math II. You can miss more questions in Math II and still make a perfect score. So, you may do better in Math II if you do well in precalculus/calculus. 800 Korean subject test score is very good but will not carry a lot of weight, since you're Korean. Do well in the History subject test. Your extracurrics look fine. Write a great essay in your own voice. You have a shot.

Asian, from CT area, with average test performance and below average HS grades? You are anything but a lock. Good luck.

There are probably another 500 kids just like you applying from the Northeast, let alone the rest of the country. If you apply to an easy college, you might be OK. Don't apply to aerospace engineering or pure math or something similar.

Call me a jerk, but I'll tell it to you straight. I have been in your shoes.

Um im intending to major in animal science
and hopefully work my way into vet school for graduate school
n thnx for answering my thread

[KH02]

if you dont get in try going to a community college for Vet tech and getting a 2 year degree for that FIRST then applying to a bigger college to move onto animal science/veterinary medicine.
If your grades at the 2 year were good you have a better chance of getting into a place like Cornell.

Also, UCONN is easier to get into and also has a animal science program so consider going their.

Go to the Cornell forum. It was made for this question.
