Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

Hey guys,

I am junior and I am planning to apply to the Information Science Major at Cornell CALS next year. Does anyone know how competitive it is to get in? And am I a good fit for the major? I know fit is extremely important at CALS, and I am wondering if my resume so far is a good match:

  1. I have started a Data Science company with multiple projects geared towards alleviating poverty in low income neighborhoods in my city; attempting to expand to other cities across US and possibly other countries (also looking to get published in the news)
  2. Currently Contacting Cornell professors to assist with research into intersection of economics and Data Science to help small businesses generate more revenue in low income areas
  3. Started Data Science Club at my school
  4. Took hardest Math courses at school with mostly A’s (taking BC Calculus next year)
  5. 36 on ACT Math, 800 Math II subject Test
    General: 3.85 GPA, 35 ACT, Indian Male
    I am extremely nervous however because my school changed the grading system last school year because of COVID, and I got a B in Honors Algebra 2. Can anyone please let me know if I am still an overall good fit for Cornell CALS Information Science major?

Does anyone have any opinions? I’d really like to hear some perspectives other than my own that could help guide/advise me.
