[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP said that the level of her DC is middle of the pack.  Test scores for middle of the pack at NYC specialized high schools are high 1400s if not 1500.  When OP projected test score to be 1400, I read it as high 1400s, e.g., 1490.  That’s very different from 1400.

Cornell state schools are still reaches, but are not completely impossible.  Davidson, W&L, and Richmond are not unrealistic.  These schools want geographic diversity and would love to have some NYC kids.  [/quote]

My non-NY kid was waitlisted at Cornell ILR with a 1430 SAT (Nat'l Merit Commended) in the application round 2 years ago.  He had a good candidacy otherwise.  ILR tends  to give out sophomore transfer options.

A possible play is Bing for freshman year then transfer to Cornell ILR or Human Ecology.[/quote]

Sorry...to be more clear...if you hang on to the WL to the bitter end, "they say" you get a transfer option pretty automatically from ILR and Human Ecology.  I can't prove this either but I did watch it happen on Reddit two cycles ago.[/quote]
