<p>I’d say Vanderbilt is a target and Columbia and Cornell are both low reaches. Good luck!</p>

<p>Ahh, thank you! There’s hope :)</p>

<p>If Vanderbilt is target, Cornell can’t be that far behind. Cornell is ranked 16 and Vanderbilt is ranked 17 and Cornell admits somethng like 3000 and Vanderbilt admits 1600+. My 0.02.</p>

<p>Vandy looks like a target for you. You could get into Cornell and Columbia if you got that science ACT up a couple of points.</p>

<p>Thank you all :slight_smile: it’s strange, I used to think Cornell was more of a target than Vandy. I’m trying my best to schedule an ACT session before EA deadlines, let’s hope for the best. Any other last minute things that could be done to raise my chances?</p>
