<p>dude you have legacy at harvard and you're a URM with a 2230. why is this posted in the cornell forum and not the harvard one... cause i'd have to say you have a GREAT shot at harvard, more than cornell cause your bro.</p>

<p>I have always thought that my GPA would hold me back, because my freshman year I had some Bs. I have an upward trend though. Do you think i have a chance at Cornell, what about harvard and Stanford(im thinking about applying to those)</p>

<p>ur worst part is your gpa. but you should have a very high chance anyway</p>

<p>I'd say you have an excellent shot! GPA is a little lower than most applicants, but you show a lot of depth in your extra curriculurs, as well as breadth. Good for you.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
