Legacy: mother attended and both of her parents attended. Applying to Arts and Sciences(CALS)</p>
<p>Your scores and GPA are low for Cornell and EC's seem okay. Having three family members and ED should definitely help. Regardless, I think it's a reach but you should definitely have a shot. Also, are you applying to CALS or CAS because you wrote arts and sciences and CALS?</p>
<p>CAS: College of Arts and Science</p>
<p>CALS: College of Agriculture and Life Sciences</p>
<p>Tough call. Stellar essay and recs required to have a shot. </p>
<p>SATs are in the bottom 25th percentile according to collegeboard. GPA is low too. My roommate had a 4.1 and got a guaranteed transfer so I'm not sure what a 3.5 is going to get you. Applying to ultra-competitive CAS doesn't help much either. If you're applying to bio on top of that, I'd say reject, but that triple legacy and ED can def sway in your favor. Good luck.</p>
