<p>Impossible to tell you. Don’t post these in the future, however tempting it may be because we honestly can’t tell. </p>

<p>Why don’t you check out the Admit rates for universities this year in the “College Search” section? I don’t have the link, but click on my history posts if you want. I’ve commented some there.
Nearly all the Ivies except for Cornell are exactly at the top of the selection chart. You need luck and a lot more going on for you if you want to be one of the ~9 or so people they select out of 100.</p>

<p>You should enjoy school and do your best.</p>

<p>Woah, thats WAY to many AP’s, but if you think you can handle it, more power to you!</p>

<p>That’s a LOT of APs. I’m in six this year and it’s pretty rough; seven just seems excessive. Oh well. Anyway, it’s impossible to tell this early. Your app seems solid, but essays are certainly a big part and you seem to think that chances just depend on the number of APs you take and the number of years you were in a club. It’s a lo more than that; passion is important.</p>

<p>@MrPrince, even Cornell was significantly more selective than previous years this time around. It’s crazy. I’m a Cornell prefrosh and so many kids from my school and local area got rejected (3/46 got in from my area I think). I think the CAS acceptance rate was somewhere around 12% this year at Cornell. Every school is getting tougher to get into, and now Cornell is pretty on par with the other Ivies.</p>
