<p>I think your chances for specifically Cornell are slim. I believe this because you do meet the benchmarks for scores, etc; however so does everyone else. I believe you can get into one of the Top20 if you apply to many but will the one that accepts you be Cornell, I don’t know? You know what I mean?</p>

<p>Give me some advice back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1524446-what-types-schools-reaches-matches-safeties-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1524446-what-types-schools-reaches-matches-safeties-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think you’re a really good candidate but with Ivy leagues, it’s really hard to tell because sometimes they accept people that we look past. They can see through the application and picture a person. I do think, like AJ8428, that you’ll get in somewhere in the top 20, probably better.</p>

<p>just be sure that they don’t just see leadership position and think that person is automatically in. extracurriculars by themselves are not impressive. i actually have no idea how youre doing your non-research extracurriculars so judge for yourself, bring out what makes them important in your essay</p>

<p>best of luck. the biomed research should give you a sizeable boost :)</p>

<p>so i’d say low reach-high match</p>

<p>I think you stand a good chance, but your GPA should be higher. If you took honors classes they like to see above a 4.0. Your extracurricular activities do make you stand out which is a big thing, keep up with that and maybe do something else that no one else does that makes you stand out even more. Good luck man I think you have a decent chance! Please chance me back.</p>

<p>Oops I didn’t see your weighed GPA at first. I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>The research paper bit is pretty impressive and makes you stand out in my opinion :slight_smile: I think overall you stand an okay chance.
Chance back please? :slight_smile:

<p>Your research will def help you, but other than that your ECs aren’t anything spectacular. So I’d say it’s a low reach/ reach

<p>You’ve got a decent shot. Not much else to say, to be honest. it’s a low reach for you.</p>

<p>I think you’re a great great candidate for Cornell? Consider applying EA? You have good test scores so don’t worry too much! chance me back?</p>

<p>cornell doesnt have EA :frowning: lolol</p>

<p>Your subject tests are all pretty solid, though you might want to consider retaking the US History test. Your SAT is also good, but your GPA is a tad low. How long have you been involved with those ECs? I’d call it a low to mid reach</p>
