<p>What school in Korea are you from?
I am also korean and I came to the US seven years ago from Seoul! :) </p>

<p>all of your scores (SAT I and SAT II) look great.
your extracurricular activities are outstanding!</p>

<p>I am sure you'll get into Cornell ED especially in the international applicant pool. Are you going to take the TOEFL iBT? </p>

<p>As a matter of fact, I am also applying ED to Cornell!! </p>

<p>Well, good luck!</p>

<p>ummm...it'll be a reach no matter how you look at it. Cornell, and msot other ivies take very few international students and it seems like the ones they do take areat the top with great SATs, 4.0 gpa, and extracurriculars. You are going to have to write a great essay. But since you're also applying Ed it'll help your chances although I didn't know that international students could apply ED.</p>
