<p>The GPA seems a little low, I would say Cornell is a low reach for you, not to mention your ECs aren’t the best. I’m really into Cornell too, if you feel like it you can check out my chances thread.</p>

<p>I agree with tjkid, your GPA is a little on the low side for any ivy league school. As he said EC’s are kinda weak especially the internship at your dad’s company unless you have a paper or something to prove you actually did something. If your school is as hard as you say it is, then you might have a chance, probably higher than what tjkid said, reach to low reach. Your courses in junior year don’t show that your challenging yourself unless thats the max # of AP’s you can take. Hope this helps!</p>
