<p>Hi. So Cornell is a big reach for me i think.
So I go to a really good private school in nyc which is recognized as being like extremely hard and such. Like this year, out of a class of 102, we sent like 21 kids to HYPS. People in the middle(B - B+) of that class got sent to like Duke(rarely), Hopkins, Emory etc. And everybody got into college.
And I just got back my jr year grades, and my gpa(we dont actually have GPAs but i calculated it) was a 3.57. It had been a little bit lower freshman and sophomore years(like a B/B+).</p>

<p>My sats were 2210 - 750 CR, 720 W, 740 M.
Sat IIs - 710Math I, 750 US history.</p>

<p>The highlights of my extras are
1.) 3 sport varsity athlete
Baseball, varsity since freshman year.
Cross Country - 1 year varsity.
Indoor track - 2 years varsity.
2.) Newspaper sectional editor.
3.) Paid internship with a neurologist.
4.) Alumni Affairs club co-president (legit club that makes money for the school)
and a good amount of community service and such.</p>

<p>Also, I will have good recs.</p>

<p>So, any chance?</p>

<p>Yeah, you have a shot. I saw your post in the Penn section as well. Definitely check out your schools naviance and see if your GPA and scores are in the accepted range for your school. If so, you have a VERY good chance. It really depends on your school. Obviously, if you came from a different school, you may not have much of a shot, but because of your school, your circumstances are different. Your guidance counselor can probably give you a more informed idea of where your chances lie.</p>
