<p>Since I was three, all I have ever heard from my dad was how great Cornell was for him and how going there would be the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm really nervous about my chances of getting in--my credentials aren't nearly as stellar as some of the ones I've read on here. I don't know how everyone else manages to be president of every club ever known to the existence of man, do many hours of community service, spend a semester in Japan, speak five languages fluently and still maintain a 4.0+ GPA! Anyway, what do you think are my chances of getting into Cornell? Here are my comparatively limited qualifications/stats:</p>
