<p>First – what do you think your chances are, your strengths and weaknesses.</p>

<p>Next – What College at Cornell? What do you Want to Study? Do you have a weighted average or a class rank?</p>

<p>All would be helpful for the folks here to consult our Ouija Boards and come up with chance me guesses for you.</p>

<p>Based on what you’ve posted so far – my guess is that most will say “Low Reach”, but it’s worth your applying if you have a strong essay and strong recommendations.</p>
