<p>Since you’ve shown improvement, it shouldn’t hurt that much. You have a decent chance at cornell. Look into schools like Vanderbilt, Rice, WUSTL, and some of the small liberal arts colleges (and safeties). Your ECs and scores are good.

<p>Cornell: low reach</p>

<p>You have a solid GPA and SAT score, and your ECs are great. If your good at writing essays, as you stated, that will definitely help you a ton.
I’d say low reach/high match depending on your teacher recs.</p>

<p>Your GPA is good, colleges will see the improvement so don’t worry about that much.
You seem to emphasize the fact that you have a lot of ECs. I communicated with a ___ admissions officer and she said it’s not about how much you have; in fact, the more you have, the more we question your commitment. Now, have some ECs and make sure you show that you are passionate. </p>

<p>many volunteer hours are good, and overall I think you have a good shot at Cornell!</p>
