<p>Your grades and academica are pretty good, above average for Cornell, but not outstanding. Other than that, your lack of extracurriculars besides your job and your lack of leadership will hurt you a lot. EC’s and leadership are pretty important from differentiating you from other applicants, so to stand out you would need really good essays and letters of recommendation. And, without EC’s they cannot really tell what you like/are passionate about. Truthfully, without EC’s it’s hard to chance you but I don’t think your chances are too great without them. However, with good EC’s and leadership you might have a pretty decent chance. Best of Luck!</p>
