<p>I doubt it. I would shoot for a lower level school. Cornell cares a lot about GPA and i dont think yours will cut the mustard…</p>

<p>It doesn’t hurt to try. Good luck!</p>

<p>In all honesty, your GPA and SAT (CR+M) are a tad lad for the average Cornell standards, but again it doesn’t hurt to apply if really want to go here. Work on getting your math and critical reading score closer to 1400+, nail those SAT II’s, and with solid essays and recs you may have a chance despite your relatively weaker GPA. Good luck!</p>

<p>And also, that is an incredible schedule for your senior year. Good luck with that too haha.</p>

<p>I would highly highly suggest taking the ACT. Many students who often find themselves struggling with the SAT will be naturally better at the ACT.</p>

<p>that is a lot of APs you are taking in senior year. anyway, i say give cornell a shot. you are hispanic which is a huge boost, if you manage to boost up your SAT score, id say you have a chance! i got into cornell with like a 3.7-3.8 and im asian so i dont think your gpa is thatt low</p>
