<p>you have a good shot

3

<p>thanks for the reply</p>

<p>Hey I'd say you are a pretty good candidate. The trend is very nice. What school are you applying to? (ps you seem like that "average candidate" (ps thats not a bad thing AT ALL for this level of school) so do and write things that make you stand out!!!!!!!!).</p>

<p>class rank?</p>

5

<p>yea, i agree with Figgy. If you want to secure your position just a bit more just take the SATs again, otherwise, you are pretty well rounded.</p>

6

<p>Apply early if Cornell is your first choice. I think you have a nice shot. :)</p>

<p>we don't get ranked at my school for some reason. But my counselor said that he suspects that i am around 12/280-300ish kids.</p>
