<p>Your extra currics and awards sound fantastic! I wouldn’t retake the sat’s because your CR+M score is fine and cornell doesn’t look at the writing score. I would try to get 750+ for your second SAT II though, so maybe study really really hard for physics or do a different subject? It’s just because you’re an ORM (I’m in the same boat… sucks.)
As far as the portfolio goes, I was at the summer program and they said that they want to see creative process and lots of freehand stuff. And they said that CAD stuff isn’t required. Like you should definitely put one of your best pieces from CAD class in, but don’t overdo it. As well they said quality over variety.
Chance me back?
