Cornell or Michigan? Don’t make those types of mistakes on your common app!

I think either school is a reach. As is true for everyone, have match and safety back ups.

My daughter had stronger stats and was wait listed at Michigan. (She opted not to apply to Cornell).

Oops, I basically copied and pasted the same thread from a couple months back because some of my circumstances had changed. But yeah, I definitely understand that either school is a reach, I just hope my essays are pretty good
