<p>Thanks for any input!</p>

<p>Are you a rising senior?</p>

<p>Brown, Pomona and Wash U are your only real reaches but with a slightly higher ACT you are a solid candidate. With legacy you should have no problem at Cornell. If it's your first choice ED for the full legacy benefit.</p>

<p>dido that for cornell, there are a few legacies at my school who got in with very underhwelming stats.</p>

<p>lilian09: yes I'm a rising senior</p>
