<p>bump</p>

<p>Why so many AP Classes? IMO your time would have been much better spent taking more college classes. AP’s arent everything, and hopefully you’ve learned this from your experience taking college classes , and not even close to equivalent with the college class. </p>

<p>However I do think you have a good chance</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at getting in! That being said, however, keep in mind that almost everyone applying to the Ivies is a very strong applicant, and though you do have a good shot, a school like Cornell is a reach for pretty much anyone who applies due to the nature of the school. However, I personally see no reason why you shouldn’t get in, and I wish you the best!! </p>

<p>Also, if you could chance me for my top choice, I would appreciate it a ton! Thanks! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1689217-chance-me-will-chance-back-nyu-early-decision-steinhardt-media-culture-and-communications.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1689217-chance-me-will-chance-back-nyu-early-decision-steinhardt-media-culture-and-communications.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Apply ED, and I think you will make it. RD, and probably not.</p>

<p>Your grades and test scores are above average for a Cornell applicant, however the only thing that makes you shine is your participation in the medical program. Your other ECs may reflect leadership skills, but aren’t related to your intended major. I would say it’s a low reach.
Good luck. </p>

<p>@yodude51 My school mainly offers AP courses, and college courses are extremely limited. But thanks</p>

<p>@puzzled123 thanks, I prolly will apply ED</p>

12

<p>@DreamOn Yea, I understand. I am trying to secure more volunteer hours at a local hospital. Thanks for the advice!</p>

<p>Don’t apply as white. Check the box that says you are of a mixed race. The reason is that it will become obvious that one of your parents are Asian. There are plenty of places in the application where this comes in (letters, names of parents, parents schools, etc). If they sense you are trying to hide something then it will make things harder.</p>

<p>Low reach, only a reach bc it’s Cornell, you have a good shot.
