<p>You have no chance. No chance at all. Wooow.</p>

<p>From my perspective,</p>

<p>Unless you can bring up that SAT score, Cornell is a reach.
University of Michigan is a match/low reach. I have a family friend that goes there, and he says the campus is GREAT (not sure about government program).
Syracuse - I think you’re in.</p>

<p>I am also a high school student, so these chances are just estimates.
One Tip - Bring out one of your passions when you interview/apply (you may have already applied, not sure)</p>

<p>I don’t see how you’re gonna apply EA to Mich when you haven’t taken a 2nd SAT subject test yet.</p>

<p>otherwise, syracuse looks like a pretty good match, umich should be a reach (contingent on how well you write your essays), and cornell is…sorry, don’t get your hopes up =(</p>

<p>^Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe U of M requires any subject tests.</p>

<p>Besides your test scores, your ECs are lacking, but I think you’ll be fine. URM status will help you a little.</p>

<p>Syracuse - I would say you’re in.
U of M is very test score/GPA-obsessed, so I would say it’s a low reach.
As people have said, Cornell is unlikely, but you never know!</p>

<p>I would definitely suggest you look at colleges your may be interested in between the levels of Syracuse and U of M. If you’d be really happy at Syracuse and would gladly go there, there’s no need for this, but otherwise, try it out.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>You seem quite wily.
Good luck on getting into Cornell and all that, use your Native American hook!
woooooow</p>

<p>Cornell: Extremely hard to get accepted. Don’t go there unless u don’t care ab social scene. </p>

<p>Syracuse: Has a good balance between fun & academic. School of New House is best one in country. I swear there are quite many dumb ppl here who are rich,legacy, or athlete. Not that hard to get in.</p>

<p>U of Mich: Easier than Cornell but harder than Cuse to get accepted.</p>

<p>Cornell - Low Reach
U of M - If you applied priority it would be a low match… safety even.
Syracuse - Safety</p>

<p>Iunno, I have a slightly more optimistic view of this situation, especially since he’s URM and top 10%, plus he’s applying Cornell ED, not RD. Isn’t ED acceptance rates for Cornell very high compared to other Ivies? I’d say, and don’t kill me if I’m wrong, low/middle reach Cornell, high match Michigan, in for sure at Syracuse.</p>
