<p>As you know, your grades are great, but your ACT score may hold you back. I think it falls in the range of scores for Cornell, but it's on the lower end. And your ethnicity is a plus. In terms of your ECs, I personally don't see that special thing, if you know what I mean. But then again, the admissions committee is what decides. Now what is your citizenship status? If you have a green card of are a citizen, then you won't have a problem. But if you have an H-1 or some other status, then I think you will be treated as an international, in which case you will have a tougher time getting in.</p>

<p>i am a permanent resident=green card. lol&lt;/p>

<p>i am aware that my act's are not stellar, but as you said they do fall into cornell's range. which made me a bit more comfortable applying since i know is cornell is a reach regardless-for me. i do hope that the act scores are overlook, and my diversed background and my very atypical personality will shine through my essays-which i am so proud of- and they can see that i will be a great addition to the university.</p>

<p>now, talking percent wise what do you guys think my % chance is?</p>
