<p>Cornell has a very very good engineering program (I don’t know the rank or anything but I know it is world class and beats out the other ivies).</p>

<p>Anyways, onto the chances.</p>

<p>I think your ACT will make you slightly more competitive than if you submitted your SAT. That given, I’d say you have as good a chance as anybody as far as the numbers go. Extracurriculars are numerous but lack the “passion” that everybody talks about these days. Stanford is the Harvard of the west and is extremely competitive. Hundreds of perfect students get turned down from there each year. Best of luck!</p>
