<p>to which school/major are you applying?
this has a huge impact on admit chances.</p>

<p>GPA/scores are Cornell average - prob won’t help or hurt you.
(Keep in mind that a ridiculously high number of CU admits get 800 on Math. CR is a little low but within range.)</p>

<p>Quality of curriculum looks decent. Impressive AP scores.</p>

<p>ECs look decent - did you have any leadership roles bsides VP of math counts?</p>

<p>looks to me like your best bet is Engineering.</p>

<p>i’d say chances are decent but not great, based on what we know. like the other poster said, you’re still just another face in the crowd. i do like the cross country/track. at least it’s more substantial than most of fluff extracurriculars we see. that alone isn’t a silver bullet for admission by any means, but you’ll need every little bit to help.</p>
