<p>Thanks amptron2x!!</p>

<p>With your major I'd say cornell is a match</p>

5

<p>Yeah... I think Cornell is definetly a match. At worst, a slight reach, but I would think you should get in.</p>

6

<p>Would applying as a classics major really help me that much? I had assumed Cornell would be a reach at best, being an Ivy and everything.</p>

<p>I'm not exactly sure, but I had the impression cornell was science-heavy, and therefore very interested in qualified applicants for their liberal arts programs.</p>
