<p>With 23 ACT, I don’t think you stand a chance at getting into Cornell… it is highly unlikely. (even if you are a recruited sports athlete, with this score, you probably won’t get in)</p>
<p>That said, please be aware that Cornell is not the only great school that will offer a great, quality education. I would do a careful search of possible schools to attend and apply to lots of schools and see what happens. Honestly, you should be focusing on applying to schools at which you have realistic shot at getting in. Good luck.</p>
