<p>looks good but you never know</p>

3

<p>Decent chances. Your class rank is a definite plus.</p>

4

<p>I’m gonna be honest. It doesn’t look good.</p>

5

<p>Raise your SAT score… everything else looks great.</p>

6

<p>hmmm
yeah, decent chance
impressive amount of ap’s though 0.0</p>

7

<p>Don’t send them your SAT score (hopefully you didn’t already). I think you have a decent shot.</p>

8

<p>I think you will definitely be in the running to gain acceptance. It’s hard to say whether or not you will, however, because I don’t think you really have a unique hook. Your amount of APs are impressive but based on my experience, hooks are VERY important (I had two huge hooks in my opinion and I was admitted with much lower stats than yours but a more focused resume). A lot of people at Cornell have had those same stats with much more impressive resumes. But this DEFINITELY doesn’t mean you have a bad shot, it’s just something to consider.</p>

<p>Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you ever need help.</p>
