<p>You really need higher scores and more prominent extracurriculars to really compete for the ivy leagues. Plus, make sure you have the right SAT 2s, since each college within Cornell has its own requirements for Standardized Tests. <a href=“http://admissions.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/2014%20Freshman%20Admission%20Requirements.pdf[/url]”>http://admissions.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/2014%20Freshman%20Admission%20Requirements.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
