[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be a safety for a high stats kid from DC (4.0 unweighted, 35 ACT)?[/quote] Reach for a top 15 national university (NU) or top 5 SLAC; aim/target 15-50 NU or 5-15 SLAC; safety 50-100 NU or 16-30 SLAC. [/quote] So Cornell would be a target? [/quote] Cornell had a 10.9% acceptance rate last year. Any school with an acceptance rate that low is a “lottery” no matter what your stats and should be treated as a “reach.” [/quote] Good point. Also be aware that 10~% rate is a blended rate that may obscure actual selectivity in acceptances. At Cornell, you apply to a specific college/school (there are 8 choices) and each has separate admissions and admit rates. For example, the College of Arts and Science, the largest, is 7~%[/quote]
