<p>It seems to me it would only be a medium-slight reach, if a reach at all. I trust that your courseload is the hardest your school offers? (or at least, pretty hard)</p>

3

<p>yeah, after freshman year in which I was only able to take 2 honor courses, I have basically taken the hardest classes my school offers…how good of a chance do you think I have in getting accepted to Cornell ED?</p>

4

<p>bump…anyone else??</p>

5

<p>You know, your courseload is eerily similar to mine… It’s almost like we go to the same school… hmm…</p>

6

<p>Really? What school do you go to? Can anyone else give me their opinions?</p>

7

<p>bump bump bump</p>
