<p>Hi, I'm currently a senior from Michigan and I was wondering if people could give me guesses at my chances at Cornell. I think I posted this elsewhere but that may have been on Parchment. In any case, I can't find it :( so here goes. I'm applying to the College of Arts and Sciences.
Valedictorian of 111-person class (sort of small school)
2270 SAT I (CR 800, M 670, W 800)
SAT II Math I 670 :(
SAT Lit 760
4.0 unweighted, 4.05 weighted GPA (APs from this year not yet factored in)
ACT 33 (36 English, 31 math, 28 science :( and 36 Reading)
Legacy (grandpa and great-grandpa went there)
Applying ED
NHS Treasurer
Quiz Bowl
Forensics state semi-finalist
Youth in Government
Academic All-State in track, state finalist in multiple events
Drum major in marching band
Saxophone section leader in concert band
First chair CMU All-Star Band by audition
Jazz band
Tutoring/volunteering with church/Right to Life
Should have good essays/recs
PSAT wasn't very good, it only got me commended (208), but that means a major improvement on the actual SAT (2270 as I said before)
All AP classes this year, plus band and Spanish independently
Also have a 20-hour-a-week job, although I work less during swim/track season
Participated in a county-wide strategic planning committee on education with staff from schools all over the county and two other student delegates</p>
<p>So, Cornell is my dream school. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen and in a perfect location in the country and the academics are superb but from the students I've met it seems like an innovative environment rather than a psycho rigid one. So, what would my chances be, especially considering ED application?</p>
