I say a good chance for Cornell not UCLA unless you’re from Cali. Whats your ethnicity and the extracurriculars are not a lot and the testing is a tad low. I say you stand a pretty good chance
I think Cornell might be a stretch because while you have a great uw GPA, your SAT score and ACT score aren’t all that great. Your ECs are good but there are much better out there. Cornell might be too much of a reach for you because even with all the AP classes, you only had 3 honors classes. You never know though, schools like Cornell are really weird when it comes to admissions. Good luck anyway.
Cornell is definitely a reach. Even though it is regarded as one of the “easier” Ivies to get into (sort of), you need at least a 2000, 2100+ would be nice, to be considered somewhat competitive.
UCLA is a reach with a lower than average SAT/ACT (2064/31). Any chance you plan to retake?
With your SAT/ACT both schools are reaches for you.
(Sad to see a highly ranked kid like you fails those tests for top schools!)
