<p>Chance thread is useless without mentioning what college at Cornell you’re applying to.
Though, even without knowing that, I can say that your SAT score could use some improvement as an Asian male, as well as your class rank.</p>

<p>Your work with the clinic seems like it would fit with the hotel school.</p>

<p>I’d say work on that SAT score, and your class rank (though thats kind of hard to do…) like ananya said, and you should have a decent chance</p>
