Project on Cornell University?
I'm doing a project about colleges and I'm researching Cornell University. For one section I'm supposed to find like the requirements (GPA, SAT score, courses you should take in high school, and any extracurricular activities needed). I tried looking them up of course and looked through the website, but I can't find anything on it. I only got the GPA and SAT score, but don't know if it's correct. ( GPA: 3.7 or higher; SAT/ACT Score: 1350 or higher) So my question is what are the requirements needed to get into Cornell University?
Also, even if no specific extracurricular activities are required, what are some examples of activities that could help you get into the university?

Most colleges do not have required SAT scores or GPAs. They consider anyone who applies. What you could look for instead are average GPA and SAT scores; that gives you a better idea of who gets in. For top schools like Cornell that only accept about 10% of applicants, everyone applying has a very high GPA and SAT score. A perfect GPA doesn't mean you'll get in. The types of activities that would help you get into a top school are things most kids don't even consider doing - starting your own successful business, publishing a novel with a publishing company, doing original academic research. But there's no magic formula for getting into a top school.
