<p>so where does that put my chances =)</p>

<p>Well, I’m applying this year as well. And as far as my Cornellian insight goes (which is to say, online/offline data gathering & case by case observation) I think you have a good chance. Present yourself in one area and voila! You would be a candidate Cornell would hate to miss. </p>

<p>*I do not take any responsibility for the statement above. =p
*Considering my chance is below that of the average Cornell Applicant, I suggest consulting the undergrads in CC, who appear like Waldo…</p>

It seems like you have a decent shot, I’m also a '13 hopeful so we’ll see!</p>

<p>Haha. I have a habit of calling all the undergrads "Waldo"s because they are so hard to find on-line! (other than my friends)</p>
