<p>Class Rank is nice, but GPA is low. Classes don't show much rigor, which would question the strength of your rank (ie. is your rank there because the school's easy). EC's fairly fluffy, but some look like they can be used as decent hooks for Personal Statements. SAT is way too low, though, if the only thing going for you is your rank and not your GPA. If you get your test scores up, you might have a shot, but nothing seriously stands out in your application.</p>

<p>SATs are low, GPA is low, ECs are pretty run-of-mill, no significant awards...shoot for something else. Cornell is, unfortunately, pretty unrealistic for you.</p>
