<p>spend alot of time on your essays, make sure they're perfect, and maintain strong grades and I say you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Pretty good chance. Wat's ur gpa unweighted? Will you have the gold award in girl scouts by the time you apply?</p>

4

<p>My gpa unweighted is about 3.95. I am not trying to get the gold award-- I am just doing the regular meeting/community service.</p>

<p>If your classes, essays, and recs show an interest in ur intended major and in Cornell then I do think you have a pretty good chance. Apply ED if you know you want to go. Best of luck!!!</p>
