Getting into cornell...?
344543
In addition to Cornell's website, check out http://www.princetonreview.com/. Also check out the new US News and World Report magazine. \n\nIt's possible to get in, but it is competitive. Depends on your major, too. \n\nThink high 600's on each SAT section, a GPA in the top 10% of your class. \n\nIf you need financial aid, get your stuff together early, fyi. Also visit first. This place is cold. You can contact Cornell and get hooked up with a alumnus good for a chat.

The Cornell AEM program was actually ranked number 14 in best undergraduate business programs.  It is actually a great program respected by all companies out there.  You can actually choose a specific concentration if you so choose (such as Entrepreneurship and Personal Enterprise, \nFinance, or Strategy)

If you like a world class liberal school where they dont use the word "tolerance" - they use the words like "open hearts and open minds" - then Cornell is for you - Cornell is VERY expensive but it is highly recognised asone of the best places to get an education

Not horribly difficult. Meaning, if you have the sort of background that could get you into NYU or UCLA in the States, they will consider you at Oxford (Cambridge will be more difficult, the "prestige" of the institution will demand you have credentials).\n\nTry the British Council website for some basic info.\n\nFrom what I understand (I studied for my BA in England) they will be very interested in academic references, possibly writing samples, and how suitable you are for the course. \n\nExcellent grades are a must, the British system will look at GPA very rigidly as they try to compare it against their own. You will need a GPA above a 3.5 at a "competitive" institution.

Those are all pretty good schools. What do you want to study?\nRice has a lot of good programs in science/math, I hear.\nCornell is pretty good at everything really. (Here's an article I found about Cornell academics: http://admitspit.wordpress.com/2006/11/09/how-x-does-academics-x-cornell/ )\nAnd USC I know has really good music and performing arts programs. I guess it's a matter of what you want to study or what sort of environment you want to live in. (Ex: USC and Rice = hot and Cornell and Northwestern = cold)

Hey there,\n\nI go to NYU now and I'd say you have a good chance if you score over a 1400 on your SAT. Under that, then it could go both ways, but you do have a good chance. I was in the IB program while in High School as well :) I scored a 1510, if you care.\n\nAlso, The volunteer work is really cool. We are very much so a laidback kind of Liberal school of mainly artists, filmmakers, law and business/social science, philosophy kind of people, whom do a good amount of volunteer work.\n\nIt is a great school in a great city. If you want to come here, apply and see what happens.\n\ngood luck!

Well it wasn't hard for me though the college is supposedly really selective. Just make sure your sat or act scores along with your gpa if you still in high school looks good before you apply.  I'm a freshman and I disagree with what the person above me posted. The school is far from boring. Maybe his cousin attends one of the remote colleges of SCAD. I'm at the main campus and I've never heard anyone say anything negative about the school. You should really look into SCAD. I recommend taking a tour.

Do a bit of homework (yeah, I know, groan-whine-groan). Call the admissions offices of the schools you're interested in and ask them what the median score was for this year's freshmen. As long as you are at the median, your chances of acceptance are solid. However, a higher SAT score can "score" you scholarships, so don't settle for "decent". Prepare for the SAT (and check out the ACT - you may do better on that!) to make sure you score the most points possible. Take a few practice tests - you can attend a free one at your local Kaplan center - to make sure you can handle the last sections of the 4-hour ordeal.  \n\nDo your research, and don't settle!\n\nLighty, \nRegents' Scholar, UCSC

In my opinion, the best way to get into a big name school/ivy is to convince the admissions staff that your interests/professional needs fit perfectly with their programs. They want to see kids that know what they want to do and will utilize their resources immediately (and then become super sucessful and make big time money). You need to convince Yale that their grad program is the only one for you. Research Yale's classes, professors, programs, etc. In addition to getting great grades adn doing all the things you listed, focus your undergrad studies and extracurriculars on a field that will set you up perfectly for a program that you are interested in and that is uniquely Yale.  \n\nThis process worked for both me and a close friend of mine. I will be attending Cornell next semester. My friend is enrolled at Columbia as a grad student.\n\nGood luck.

No one gets into NYU easily, for the most part.  You need to have the grades first and foremost.  Visit their site, get their admission info.  Speak with your guidance counselor at school.

How about ASU?  You should be able to get into there.  You also might be able to get into USC - but it's very expensive.

I graduated this May. It was tough, but I had a really good experience and I learned a lot, and not just academically. How much you enjoy it will depend on many factors, from what your major is to how well you can tolerate cold weather. Most of the alumni I have talked to have nothing but fond memories of Cornell, and the school has one of the highest alumni giving rates of any school in the country. That might say something...\n\nI would recommend visiting the school if you can. If you go to the admissions website they have a ton of info about visiting, and they are pretty helpful. Once you are there you can talk to students that are in your prospective major, and they can give you a feel. If I knew more about your situation and preferences I might be able to better forecast how you will like it.

Ok, apply to one of the colleges/universities and see if they will accept you.

the competition to get into ucla is as cutthroat as any ivy league school.the streets in westwood run red with student blood. tuition at ucla is 2800 quarter resident & 8000 for nonresident. usc is 34000 yearly. caltech is for brainiacs and rich ones at that. best bet is go to a community college, get the basics done, then transfer either to a state college(Cal State Sacramento)or state university \n(University california davis). Concen- trate on the less popular campuses(not berkeley or LA!)

That's a pretty good score. - Congratulations! But it depends on what school you want to get into. Probably some Ivy leagues won't think that's good enough.

I can tell you, its a good college. Probably a 3.2 or better to get in.

We can't really tell you what to do.  You should call or Email the admissions office at SUNY Binghampton.  Tell them your situation and ask them exactly what to do.\n\nYou can get their contact information using the link below:
