Your chemistry score is low, and your AP scores are also low. Your senior schedule is very mediocre as well. You may also get the Asian bug.

Everything else looks good. Your ACT and SAT are right in Cornell’s range.

I’d say you have a 60% chance of getting in.

Which school are you applying to?

@jc20172021 I agree with @KellenHanson for the most part except for AP scores. Those don’t factor into the application if you didn’t report them. Or did you? Because they aren’t important unless you got all 5s or something. They are completely optional. Other than that your other stats, scores and ECs look like the majority of us. Hopefully you had a hook in your essays that they can’t resist, otherwise I’d say you are 50% - like me. :wink:

@cotopaxi I didn’t report my scores bc I thought they might be a harm rather than a help. As for the hook…I hope it was pretty good. I don’t know. Thanks for the chancing though!
