<p>What was the breakdown of your SAT? Cornell looks at math and critical reading with the average at around 1350. A 3.7 isn’t very much below the average but a lack of AP classes up until senior year would most likely hurt you unless those are the only APs that your school offered. (although attending an honors high school may make up for that. I don’t know) Your ec’s are ok/good. Also, you should be aware that cornell does not offer merit aid and at $250k a year you will not get FA so you should make sure you can afford it (Which you probably can at that income) Based on this I would probably say it is a low reach</p>
