<p>Any boost to my potential acceptance?</p>
<p>Yep, it’s a hook. Your application still has to be strong though</p>
<p>William is right, Prosp is wrong. It does not even remotely guarantee anything. If his friend getting in is real, he probably was class president, research, had a high GPA, great AP’s or something to make up for it.</p>

<p>Are you being recruited Midas? If not, then your 3.35 is really your albatross. Nonetheless, even if Cornell passes you up, I imagine you’ll have some very nice choices come April. Best of luck to you.</p>
