Chance me - NC resident Asian female Cornell ED [3.81 UW, 35 ACT, Human Biology Health and Society]

I think you have an excellent shot at all those schools but remember that Cornell is a lottery. With your profile, I would much rather try Dartmouth ED. No aid kids have huge advantage in ED. And I would say it is a much more teaching focused school but I am a bit biased. Lol.

My counselor said he put me as the top 10% of my class. Does that make a difference?

I think top 10% is expected at Cornell so that puts you in the mix. I don’t think it changes your chances materially, though. Your stats are in range (although gpa is a hair low for Cornell) and your ECs are excellent so you have a shot. Chancing anyone for the Ivies is difficult - they get so many wonderful applicants, like yourself, that they can only take a fraction of them.
