Hey guys,
I’m a current junior who just visited Cornell, and it is my absolute dream school! However, I’ve been worrying over the past couple days if I would be able to even get in. I’m definitely planning to apply ED and wonder if you think I could make it. Thanks so much!!

I know my GPA was horrendous sophomore year, but it is clear that I really picked up the ball Junior year and intend to continue my upwards progression into my Senior year. Anyways, thank you so much for taking the time to help a confused Junior out! (Also, with my stats, if you could suggest any schools for me to look into besides Cornell that would be really nice :))
Thanks a million!!,
