<p>In my school, there are so many great URMs and legacies applying to top schools...
Should I lose hope getting in?..</p>

<p>To my knowledge, Cornell does not place a limit on the number of students it accepts from any HS. You should be judged on your own merits.</p>
<p>Depends on how you compare to the URMs/legacies. Do you offer a superior application? If so, by how much?</p>
<p>And technically, Cornell doesn’t limit the number of students by high school. Perhaps there are unofficial caps at schools where half the class goes to a top 30 school, but this should only apply to some of the super elite private schools. Going to a school that frequently has students accepted to Cornell is a significant advantage because Cornell will know they’re getting quality students.</p>
