<p>You have an above average chance within the applicant pool of Cornell, but no guarantees. I’d be willing to be that you’d get in.</p>

9

<p>well if you are not going to need aid then you probably will get in… but i have heard of people with stats like that declined so it really depends on the pool applying there</p>

<p>good luck</p>

10

<p>okay thanks. so you guys don’t think my AWFUL class rank would automatically count me out?</p>

<p>^I’m surprised no one’s addressed this, because it very well may. As a general rule, you should be in at least the top 10% for top schools. I’d compile a list of backups just in case.</p>
