<p>I know I'm not the strongest candidate, so do you think its worth applying to?</p>

<p>i would apply. your stats are good (not great, but good) and your EC look impressive. ivy league schools look for uncommon activities and well-roundedness. You have grades/volunteer work/sports/clubs. What school are you applying to? What major? ED or RD?</p>

3

<p>I would apply to the college of arts and sciences regular decsion. I’m undecided about my major, but I’m leaning towards government or economics</p>

4

<p>ok. then i’m going to say that your acceptance would weigh heavily upon your letters of recommendation and essays. you would need to show a lot of enthusiasm and desire to attend Cornell in those essays and show that you’re different from the average applicant.</p>

<p>What is your CR + M composite on the SAT I?</p>
