<p>Do not waste time worrying about odds. Apply to colleges you truly care about and where your grades and GPA are comparable to enrolled students. Ivy League colleges are a lottery for even the strongest applicants.</p>

<p>If you truly want to go to Cornell applying in October with thoughtful essays that demonstrate a deep understanding of the program you are applying to gives you a 20% or 30% chance of admission, the same odds as other strong October applicants.</p>

<p>My D had same SAT score, slightly higher GPA, IB diploma. She applied on a whim, didn’t show much interest, and as expected, was not accepted. I agree with alanhouston…you have a chance if you show interest and your essay strikes a nerve. Best of luck!</p>
