<p>i bet you'll get a bunch of people discouraging you, but i think you have a very good shot even getting into cornell (they have an almost 30% acceptance rate!), and you're probably on the top half of their applicants, so i'd say 60% shot ;)</p>

3

<p>Cornell's overall acceptance rate is 21%, according to College Board.</p>

4

<p>i'm an idiot. the 29% is from a few years ago. still, i think the OP has a good shot. tons of underqualified people apply to cornell because it is the low end of the ivies and they want a shot. cornell also has to accept more to get the right amount of freshmen because they have ****ty aid and lots of people end up going elsewhere. (like me)</p>

<p>Gender, ethnicity, and how competitive your high school is (e.g. 10 to Stanford, 7 to Harvard, 8 to Yale, 16 to Princeton...) should be stated. You already know the SAT is your weak point, so work on raising that score.</p>

<p>im a male. asian. and my school is one of the top in the county. number 1 in our district.</p>

<p>it all depends on your SAT i say. If it is around 1600's, you got no chance in most of those schools, but if it is around 1900 then it is a different story.</p>
