[quote]For those who can’t plan for, take, and submit exams

Cornell readers will consider with increased scrutiny their other application documents, looking for different evidence of excellent academic preparation, including:

challenging courses and excellent grades in each secondary school (high school) context. Note: there will be no negative interpretation for schools and students who have had only pass/fail or similar grading options during this current term;
evidence of commitment and effort to pursuing other challenging learning experiences; 
results from other kinds of secondary, college-preparatory, and university-qualifying testing where available and verifiable; 
care, craft, and authenticity in their writing submissions; 
and wherever practical and available, details, insight, and analysis from secondary school counselors and teachers. 
Applicants with no test results might more often be asked after review has begun for additional evidence of continuing preparation, including grade reports from current senior year enrollment when that can be made available in time for Cornell admission review. [/quote]
