<p>I have a 4.0 GPA, 4.39 weighted, and am involved in a plethora of extracurriculars (from running half of my student government, to being a lead news editor for my school's newspaper, to founding and being the CEO of a successful charitable business that helps the homeless, etc). I am also Hispanic, and write about my culture in one of my essays. My ACT is 32 (35 English, 33 Math, 30 Reading, 28 Science). SAT II: Math II: 750 USH: 710
APs: Mostly 4's and 3's (11 total AP classes after senior year is complete).
My essays are great and I feel very confident and passionate about them. I believe that my letters of rec. from my teachers are strong, and my principal insisted on writing a letter of rec. for me.
I am also an NHS officer, run Facebook pages with over 1 million total likes, invest and research the stock market, and have won the presidential award for community service (a national award).
Just curious as to what people think :)</p>
<p>Impressive high school transcript. That’s great that you’re involved in things outside of school. You have a lot of noteworthy E.C’s. I’m not familiar with the admission requirements at Cornell but you sound like a strong applicant. You’re grades and standardized test scores sound right for that schools. I think that your boatload of E.C’s are your party piece and they will help you distinguish yourself among the other applicants. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were admitted to Cornell! Nice job!</p>

<p>Chance back you have an honest shot!</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! Much appreciated @swanny1210 </p>
<p>Thanks @DickCheney </p>
<p>You sound like a pretty dope Individual… I have absolutely no clue how any of the college application process works, so your guess is probably as good as mine.</p>
<p>Thanks haha @EJLaGorga </p>
<p>Obviously Ivies are reaches for anyone, but I would say that you are incredibly competitive - GPA, test scores, and ECs are all up to par. You have a really good shot of getting in. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you’ve got as good chance as anybody. What other schools are you applying to?

<p>You are definitely one who can legitimately apply to Cornell. Your weakest point is the AP test scores. Many will have lots of 5s on those.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the replies! I chanced you all back :)</p>
<p>I feel you on the “running half the student government” thing haha. I think you have a really great shot. In fact, I’ll be surprised if you don’t get in.</p>

<p>haha Thanks @DL43516 I’ll chance you back :)</p>
<p>You seem like you have a pretty strong shot. Your GPA is solid, and if I’m right, Cornell has a 30/34 interquartile ACT range, so you’re smack in the middle. Your ECs are impressive. If your recs and essays are as good as you say, you’ll be in good shape. Make sure that you meet the specific course requirements for whatever school you’re applying to (just as an example, calculus is a requirement for the school of engineering, etc.)
Chance me back? It’s my most recent thread.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input! I’ll chance you back right now @Daminark </p>
<p>You’re a very strong applicant and should make it into Cornell </p>
<p>You have nothing to worry about. Your ECs are absolutely solid, you have an impressive GPA, and you’re also Hispanic which will help you in terms of admissions. Good luck! Please chance me back :)</p>
