<p>your ECs are a little ordinary, so you’re going to have to show passion for something in your essay(s). your GPA is good, and your test scores are pretty good, but maybe a little low if you don’t have an interesting talent/hook. try to get that up.</p>

<p>if you apply ED to Cornell, you may have a good chance. just show them in your essay that you really really want to go to Cornell. colleges want to see that you really want them too; they don’t want to be part of a long list of schools that you created. </p>

<p>what about Notre Dame? and have you considered any liberal arts colleges like Oberlin or Middlebury? </p>
