<p>You should do some SATII subject tests like math2c.</p>

<p>Also, work on your essays which should focus primarily on CS.</p>

<p>You got a rigours courseload. EC’s are enough, as long as you display a strong adherence to the studies of CS.</p>

<p>Stand a good chance, but can’t say because I never read your essays.</p>

<p>200+ hours doing CS related community service is definitely a plus</p>

<p>Certifications in languages are a plus</p>

<p>If you’re applying to the engineering school, you’ll need one math satII and one science sat II. Try to bring up your math sat I score, as many people who get into the engineering program have an 800 here</p>

<p>Not guaranteed by any means. You’re up against thousands of kids with numbers as impressive or more impressive than yours. The only saving grace is that your high school is so strong. Which offsets the lower GPA. And I don’t know how you’re going to overcome a 2050 on the SAT when the average accepted candidate to Cornell Engineering probably has closer to 2200. Your extracurriculars aren’t bad, but they’re not astounding, either. Good luck. You’ll need it.</p>
