Sorry what do you mean “am in Cornell College”
Are you asking for us to chance you for Cornell?
Also depends on which college?

Anyways, I think (as you mentioned) the test scores (including SAT scores, ACT and AP) will substantially hurt your application. The extracurricular activities and work experience are spectacular but why the test scores, I’m afraid it will be a mid/high reach. If the essays are really good then it will boost your chances.

Best of Luck.

Cornell College is in Iowa. Cornell University is in New York. The NY Cornell is out of reach.

OP: your post on 12:12AM in Cornell College is in the wrong forum, like Tomofboston said.

I believe you meant to post here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/

How do you look? Desperate

Your class ranking and scores make you simply not very viable whatsoever. You rec’d dozens of replies and 100s of looks YOUR OTHER FIVE CHANCE ME posts-- not one of them saying your chances are good at a school like Cornell. And the posters here have said the same thing. Why are you posting again, hoping for a different answer?

I wish you luck but hopefully, you’ve submitted to a few safety colleges. Asking again and again is simply desperation speaking. Please make sure your safety college apps are all in order.
