<p>Impossible to say based on the information that you have provided.</p>
<p>First, what does a 90.8 mean at your school. Normally, I would say this translates to about a 3.6-3.7, which is low to borderline. However, the gpa means different things at different HS. So, where are you ranked. If you’re top 5% +/- the grades are probably ok. If you’re lower than top 10% +/-, it begins to look tough.</p>
<p>SAT/ACT – more is better. For Cornell, consider 700 per section +/- as a benchmark. If you’re much below that, it gets tough if you’re in the 750 range, it looks a lot better. </p>
<p>However, for Cornell, you likely need both Grades and SAT/ACT. If you’re seriously low on either admission will be tough.</p>
<p>Even with Top Top stats – say a 3.8+ GPA and 750’s on the SATs, admission is hardly guaranteed (in fact, more students with these numbers are probably denied than accepted, but that’s true of all very top schools).</p>
<p>ECs – … there are a lot of them. There is a running debate as to ‘depth’ (i.e., fewer activities but more involvement) vs. breadth. Personally, I think that schools of this caliber prefer Depth – but I am not involved with admissions, so what do I know. Nonetheless, I thinkyou would be well served to highlight one or two activities and show how you have made a difference and how they define you.</p>
<p>In any event, without the SAT/ACT and an understanding of what your grades mean, it’s impossible to really give an assessment.</p>
<p>Scores by themselves don’t get you in, and your grades don’t look that great either. So far it seems like a significant reach even for ED.</p>
