I’m applying for aid too.
I got waitlisted for CS at UIUC (didn’t apply for a second choice major), accepted to Purdue, but can’t afford to go to either so it doesn’t matter much. Please chance me for Cornell too. And am I definitely going to be rejected from Stanford, Princeton, Harvard and MIT lol?

Your academic achievements are stupendous but the lack of ECs will hurt you a lot. I think that you stand a decent shot at all the places, with the best shot of admittance at Cornell
