Hi all, I am currently a rising senior and wanted to gauge my stats right now to see if I could get into Cornell University. My goal is to be accepted into Cornell’s undergraduate school of business, and was wondering how I stack up to others who got accepted into Cornell.
I plan on applying binding early decision to Cornell, so that may increase my candidacy.
