<p>I believe that you have a good shot at Cornell ED, even tough your scores are not really high your EC’s and school grades make up for it. I’m not really sure about JHU and Brown but go for it, you have nothing to lose, i guess. Don’t worry about the other schools you mentioned, i think you are pretty much in.Good luck.</p>

<p>Your ECs and GPA are pretty good! I think you have a good chance. Best of luck!</p>
