<p>Slipper is right. If you had found a club and got really involved in it then that would be a great EC. It's kind of too late now, but try some big community service project or founding a club as soon as possible. You are lacking a hook.</p>
<p>20/210 is going to be a reach to get into Cornell, whether you apply early or not...you really need to be top 5% of your class unless your SATs are stellar, and yours are about average</p>
<p>I'd just like to add Wake Forest to my list. Does anybody think i'm a match there?</p>
<p>He's a legacy at Cornell, I think he has a strong shot.</p>
<p>If warm weather is important to you....I think you're going to have to cross off Michigan too.</p>
<p>As I've said before, you have to give me some pretty compelling reasons to stay up north. A powerhouse football team, great college town, and an excellent business program all seem pretty compelling to me. </p>
<p>Anyway, is Wake Forest a match?</p>
<p>Don't go to an Ivy just because it's an Ivy. This is four years of your life. Choose a school that you love--regardless of "rank." If the only reason you want to go to Cornell is because it's an Ivy, then that's the reason why you shouldn't even apply.</p>
<p>warm climate= like none of your choices. try picking based on if you like it. PS--a 3.5 doesn't cut it at DUke, Michigan or Cornell. Consider U of Miami in Florida, nice schoo, your stats match up and its warm. hate to break it to you, but you won't get in the other places.</p>
