<p>My writing skills are very good, and I have already started my essay (based on this past year's common app prompts); I'm very confident in it</p>

<p>My recommendations will be from
(a) My AP Chem Teacher - a class that I excel in, and am very close with the teacher
(b) My AP US Teacher - a class that I struggle in, and meet with the teacher often, where she sees my effort</p>

<p>It’s tough to say without actual scores, but if you get what you predict I’d say low reach considering you’re applying ED.</p>

<p>@EppingForest Yeah, I was basically implying that I want my predicted scores to be what I’m judged upon; thanks for the opinion! </p>

<p>I would say its still a reach because its an ivy and they get many qualified applicants. Applying ED will help, maybe make it a low reach. This is assuming you get 2100+ or a 32+ on testing. Are you applying into a certain major? Some are harder than others. Also, CAS is the only school within Cornell that doesn’t mandate SATIIs. So if you end up CALS aim for 730+ on SATIIs. </p>
