<p>I think your stats and ECs look good.</p>

<p>Do you think I have enough difficult courses?</p>

<p>You have great stats, but the thing is Cornell CALS is the most selective out of all Cornell schools. I’m assuming you’re applying regular decision, and your standardized scores are up to par with those, but I’m not so sure about your ECs, grades, and letters of recommendation (your stuff isn’t really specific- what did you take in 9/10th grade, your community service hours).</p>

<p>9th and 10th grade I had a few honors classes, but no AP classes. There were not many opportunities for underclassmen at my school then. I also had lame elective like Yoga and Theatre that I did not choose.</p>

6

<p>In my estimation, with your stats and ECs, you are a low reach (33 to 40%) at Cornell CAS applying RD. ED would have bumped you considerably.</p>
