<p>My only problem is that I got bad grades freshman year for a personal reason that I talk about in my essay. I got better grades sophomore year (3.75 GPA) with only 1 B+ and the rest A/A-. Junior year I did worse, as I was taking all honors/ap courses and some of the stuff I was dealing with freshman year came back to bite me in the ass (again, talk about this in my essay). People on this forum always talk about how Cornell is a low reach, and sort of Ivy safety, but it's really my dream school and I fell in love with it when I visited it this fall.</p>
