@phatphysicist Congrats on your acceptances so far. I think your odds at Cornell are a little slim. Stats are decent but you’re competing against more than 40,000 other applicants with similar or far better stats, and you ECs are not that unique. From what I have seen in other accepted/rejected posts, your gender, ethnicity and income may be your biggest weakness - not fair but true unfortunately. Don’t give up hoping but get in your mind that you have three really great schools who have already accepted you.
