<p>Very good GPA/Rank. Good SAT score. Good SAT's. I understand your school not having very many AP's, neither does mine (I did IB instead). However, this probably will affect you negatively. I hope you have been taking Honors classes as well. You have good EC's I think...more years is better. Be sure to list your awards and any leadership positions. I think you have a good chance for Cornell.</p>

<p>That's good to hear. I would suggest you take a look at the common application for Cornell now to determinate how you will out things, better to be familiar with it now than later.</p>
