[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for admitted RD:
3.7-3.9 GPA 
1440-1560 SAT
(one outlier with 3.5 GPA and 1310 SAT)

all GPAs are unweighted
CA private

Our CA private is different

Admit rate is about 14% but swings a lot. About 4 or 5 kids per year typically
Average SAT is only around 1440
Cornell doesn’t yield well at our school, 20-25%
If I had to guess they are competing with UCB and UCLA and typically lose to them.[/quote]

That is sounds right, my friend in CA had one kid get into Cornell and the other Brown and both picked a top UC instead. [/quote]

This would only be true for CS and EECS, and Hass.
For premed and prelaw, no brainer you would choose Brown.
For prelaw and hotel management, Cornell hands down.  
Premed at Cornell is tough, but still way better than UC.[/quote]

For states with strong public schools, it’s not atypical to choose them if you’re a donut hole family. I grew up in Michigan and know people who chose UMich over Ivies. I assume it’s similar in California, Virginia, North Carolina, etc.[/quote]
