<p>Low reach :)</p>

<p>Remember you can’t mention middle school awards on your app. Nonetheless the rest of you app is great, stats and ECs and all around. Do Cornell ED and I’m pretty sure you’re in. But in CC terms, let me say you’re a low reach…</p>

<p>If you apply ED I think it’s a high match. RD its a low reach, Good Luck! Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544121-chance-duke-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544121-chance-duke-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>High match for ED</p>

<p>Match (especially coming from the left-coast, Cornell tends to skew-east otherwise).</p>
