Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

I am a rising senior at a private high school in South Florida where I am on scholarship. My parents are divorced and I currently live with my mom. My parents could never afford to send me to most universities with financial aid or scholarships. Here are my stats below!!

Male
White

Sat: 219
Act:33
600+ volunteer hours(parks, animal shelters, fostering animals)
Clubs: model UN, future business leaders of America, njhs, nhs, pre law society, key club, and i started my own club called one step at a time where we volunteer with habitat for humanity. I was a leuitenant in my law society as a sophomore and I am currently the vp(hopefully I will be president next year). Very involved in every club.

I play the piano and my unweighted gpa is 4.0 and at my school my weighted is 5.9. Ap human:5, ap euro:4, ap world:5, ap U.S. history:5, ap enviro:5, ap comp gov: 5. I will be taking another 4 to 5 next year.

So these are the school: Ed cornell, Stanford, northwestern, NYC, brown, Vanderbilt, Berkeley, u pen, u Chicago, Columbia. I am a legacy at cornell. My uncle attended and is currently on the board at the school and really wants me to go. He says he will talk to some people and write a letter(whatever that is supposed to mean.) I also have 3 or 4 cousins that attended cornell. I have two cousins that also attended Stanford. Please chance me and I will chance back. Due to my situation, I am looking at McGill and u of t because I am a Canadian citizen, it’s cheap, and really good. Please let me know if I should apply.

Sorry guys, I meant without financial aid or scholarships. And I forgot the s in back of school.

I think you have a good chance if you apply ED to Cornell. It’s hard to say about the others- no one has a “good chance” at schools that have single digit acceptance rates like Stanford and U Chicago. I don’t think cousins count for legacy status. Also, Berkeley (do you mean “Cal”/UC Berkeley? ) is a public school and I don’t believe they offer much, if any need-based financial aid, especially for out of state students. All the students I know who attend UC schools from out of state are full pay.

Your stats are very good and of course you should apply. Make sure you also apply to some safety schools as well (schools you like with high acceptance rates). Best of luck to you.

I think you have a pretty solid chance of getting accepted. Your stats are pretty decent but I wouldn’t say that it will guarantee getting you into Cornell. Just make sure that you have safety schools. Are you thinking of applying ED?
