<p>You know you have a shot. If you really want Cornell--you are probably in. If it is your "safety" Ivy (I know, seems like an oxymoron), maybe not.</p>

3

<p>which college are you applying to?</p>

4

<p>Definitely the college of engineering.</p>

5

<p>And I'm in the nat'l latin honors society since freshman year, dominated the AMC 12, AMC 8, etc, various and sundry other crap</p>

6

<p>Your numbers and ECs look great...but engineering requires 2 SAT IIs (1 math, 1 science)...you planning to take another one?</p>

7

<p>yeah, i'm taking the physics one in a few weeks.</p>

8

<p>do well on your physics sat II and you're in</p>

<p>Looks good to me, not that I'm any kind of authority on these things. you do have the white male thing against you though, if you were a black woman your odds would be much better.</p>

<p>you know youre chances are good... don't know why you'd labor to get others to comment on whether a 4.72 gpa and 2300 sat score has any 'chance'...</p>
