<p>If you don’t apply, there is no chance that you’ll be accepted to CAS. (Grin)</p>

<p>Ummmmm, he ACT is a touch low (above the 25 percentile, but closer to the 25th than the 50th for the entering class).</p>

<p>The grades especially weighted look gpa look a bit low – but since you’re top 3% in your class, I’m going to assume it’s just a different grading system than most schools. Top 3% is certainly what Cornell looks for, and may be a bit above average, even.</p>

<p>If you could bring up the ACT a point or two, you’d have a great shot. As it is. Low Reach-High Target is my uneducated guess.</p>
