my sat: 650m 630v, but im retaking this week, so the math will improve a minimum 50 pts

i think cornell is a big reach for you, especially you don't get those sat's up in the 1400's.
AEM is very hard to get into, but u should reconsider

ouch, i guess the truth hurts...DAMNIT...its weird, cuz each year alot (3-10) of kids get into cornell from my HS, and of those kids like 25% are idiots, but some do the ILR and stuff...so, i think i have a good chance...
cleanfreak, how selective is aem? and isnt admission for aem the same as admission into the ag schools? which is one of the easier schools?
what do you think would be the best school i could shoot for? i wanna do pre-business or pre-med or both...I SOOOOO WANT AN IVY...

r u a ny resident, cause if u are thats a plus. but if not, ag and sci at cornell is the hardest school to get into for outside ny applcants. my cousin applied to AEM last year with a 1350 (he was a ny resident), and was at first deferred and then rejected. i mean ivy schools are a crapshoot, and u cant say any ivy school is easier...cause it is very random...
good luck in the college process
