<p>Why don’t you post when you actually get your ACT and we can give you a fair assessment?</p>

<p>Okay chance me as if my ACT were 32</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me! For Cornell ED you have a very good chance, I’d say still a low reach but a very feasible one. If your ACT is 32 try to bring it up to 33 or 34, it will help you. Your EC’s are very nice as well, very centered.
One thing I’ve heard is that it is harder for international students applying to US colleges, as they don’t receive much fa. Is Cornell more generous?
Good luck!</p>

<p>Your chances are pretty solid I would say. For Cornell, My cousin got accepted and she didn’t have anything near the perfect SAT score. She believes that she got accepted their because of her interest in women’s rights. Ivy Leagues, don’t just look at your grades. they look at you as a person and your accomplishments. I would suggest apart from your incredible academic scores, find a unique interest and excel in it. I see that you are President of Science Club, so why not achieve excellency in science? Like researching and proving something wrong. That’s just one example, I would say if you do that you should be a pretty solid applicant.</p>
