<p>Your ACT score is just a bit low ( A 32 translates to around 2150 I guess?).
GPA is good, and your class rank is also good, it is at the level for Ivies.
You have pretty good extracurriculars, BUT as we have seen on CC, so do many many students that apply to the top notch schools!
So, the question is (a cliched one at that), what sets you apart? Do you have any achievements in your ECs?
I can also see you are involved in sports, which is def. nice.</p>

<p>Basically, just make sure you have good essays and LORs, and then your chances might be pretty good :)</p>

<p>Also, one of my friends had a 2280 on the SAT, was a Val, and took ~3APs, yet got into Cornell’s COE (He had no major achievements, just a few hours of community service). He was an international btw. So Id say you do have a chance. Keep your spirits high :slight_smile:
All the best !</p>
