<p>I disagree that hmom knows a lot. In fact, i disagree with most of the posts on this “chance me” thread. I believe that if you really want to Cornell and do everything in your power you can, I do not see you being rejected. Write a fantastic essay. I think you have a good shot honestly. Screw what most of these people are talking about. I know people with 28 and 29 ACT’s with no hook who have gotten into Brown and Cornell. People told them their chances weren’t good, but they worked and did everything they could for their application to look good. Reach for the stars.</p>

<p>“No, schools like Cornell that reject the vast majority of applicants are not going to give you a break because of family priorities.”</p>
<p>What an insult! At least you can word it kinder if that’s what you believe. How can you be so sure of everything? Are you the admissions officer? I don’t think so! You don’t know ****</p>
