<p>I think that while the schools you are applying to are difficult to determine if you’ll be accepted based solely on how competitive they are, you probably have good chances at getting into them! Being Asian will probably hurt you at Cornell though … Work hard on your essays and good luck!</p>

<p>You will need to take the ACT again, or take the SAT, if you want to have a realistic shot at any of the schools you have listed. I believe you would be in the bottom 25% of all of them based on scores.</p>
